There's been a lot of buzz lately surrounding 'Mankatha 2', the sequel to Thala Ajith's super hit 'Mankatha' released in 2011 directed by Venkat Prabhu. Ever since the ace director tweeted that 'Mankatha' is the movie that deserves an immediate sequel fans have been eagerly waiting for an announcement from him.
Although there were a lot of speculations on making a sequel for the superhit movie, the idea never took form and was released officially. Recently Venkat Prabhu replied to Harbhajan Singh who thanked him for releasing his debut movie 'Friendship' trailer that stars Arjun, Losliya and Sathish in lead roles. Giving his signature reply in Tamil, he pulled Director Venkat Prabhu's leg by asking him a fan-favourite question. "Thank you so much Venkat Prabhu ji. If you make 'Mankatha part 2', let Thala know that I sent my regards," he said.

ਸਤਿ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੁਖੀ, ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਵੱਡਾ ਪ੍ਰਸ਼ੰਸਕ ਹਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਜੇ ਮਨਕਥਾ 2 ਵਾਪਰਦਾ ਹੈ, ਤਾਂ ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਾਡੇ #thala 😉 ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਇਸ ਦਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਬਣਨਾ ਚਾਹੋਗੇ? ਤੁਹਾਡੀ #friendship ਲਈ ਵਧਾਈ. https://t.co/WEma53ooFk
