The Venkat Prabhu directed 2011 heist film Mankatha has emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of Tamil cinema at that time. Starring Thala Ajith, Arjun and Trisha in lead roles, Mankatha was produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine Movies.
The film became the talk of the Twitter town when it was screened in a popular TV Channel during Coronavirus lockdown. Mankatha costume designer Vasuki Bhaskar tweeted a piece of trivia regarding the film, which involved the chain Ajith was wearing in the film.
Vasuki said that Venkat Prabhu wanted the chain with a dollar, as the accessory is crucial to the climax scene, and they finally zeroed in on the handcuff-shaped pendant as it symbolizes Vinayak's backstory as a disgraced cop.
This information goes on to prove that even a film's finer details carry an interesting information behind them. Venkat Prabhu will be helming STR in the political thriller Maanaadu, whose shoot is currently called off due to the ongoing lockdown.
