Not
too
long
ago,
there
was
a
buzz
that
Venkat
Prabhu
will
soon
start
rolling
the
second
instalment
of
the
2011
movie
Mankatha.
The
blockbuster
film
indeed
played
a
big
role
in
Ajith's
career,
as
it
is
said
to
be
a
movie
that
elevated
the
actor's
stardom.
However,
Thala
got
busy
with
other
projects
in
between
and
now,
as
per
recent
rumours,
there
are
very
less
chances
of
the
sequel
to
happen.
It
is
said
that
Venkat
Prabhu
had
met
Ajith
during
the
shoot
of
the
latter's
Vishwasam
in
Hyderabad,
wherein
the
director
narrated
the
script
to
him.
Apparently,
the
actor
was
impressed
with
the
storyline
and
gave
his
nod
to
Venkat.
The
director
then
returned
to
Chennai
after
the
meet,
and
shared
a
picture
with
Thala
on
social
media,
which
had
fans
speculating
about
Mankatha
2.
As
per
sources,
Ajith
wasn't
happy
with
the
picture
shared
by
the
director
and
the
subsequent
speculations
about
the
sequel.
There
are
also
reports
that
the
producers
of
Mankatha,
Dhayanidhi
Alagiri
and
Vivek
Rathnavel
had
earlier
told
the
director,
that
the
sequel
will
be
bankrolled
by
their
respective
banners
only.
However,
renowned
producer
Boney
Kapoor,
who
shares
a
very
close
bond
with
Ajith,
has
also
approached
Venkat
for
the
project.
Recent
grapevine
suggests
that
Ajith
has
given
a
major
part
of
his
dates
to
Boney
Kapoor,
which
evidently
decreases
the
chances
of
Mankatha
2
rolling
in
the
near
future.
Well,
we
will
have
to
wait
and
see
if
the
sequel
to
the
blockbuster
with
Ajith
in
the
lead
role
materialises
or
not!
The
2011
movie
was
also
Ajith's
50th
outing
in
Tamil.
The
action
thriller
also
featured
an
ensemble
cast
including
Arjun
Sarja,
Trisha
Krishnan,
Raai
Lakshmi,
Anjali,
Andrea
Jeremiah,
Vaibhav,
Premji
and
Mahat
Raghavendra.
