Thala Ajith's 50th film Mankatha will complete 100 days on theatres today. The film took a phenomenal opening not just in India, but overseas as well. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, Mankatha created a buzz in the state as it had the next highest opening to Rajinikanth's Enthiran. Music director Yuvanshankar Raja's peppy tracks and the racy background score added to the frenzy.

Apart from Ajith, Mankatha also starred Trisha, Arjun, Anjali, Andreah, Premji, Vaibhav, Mahanth, Ashwin, Lakshmi Rai and Jayaprakash in prominent roles. The film was produced by Cloud Nine Movies and released under the Sun Pictures banner.
