Why Mankatha Remains Special
Released originally on August 31, 2011, Mankatha was Ajith Kumar’s 50th film as a lead actor. Director Venkat Prabhu created a thrilling story about a corrupt police officer named Vinayak Mahadevan who gets involved in illegal betting during the IPL season.
What made the film unique was Ajith’s character—a grey-shaded role quite different from his usual heroic parts. The movie also featured strong performances from Arjun Sarja, Trisha Krishnan, and several other talented actors.
With Yuvan Shankar Raja’s memorable music and an engaging plot full of twists and betrayals, Mankatha became one of the biggest Tamil hits of 2011.
