Ajith's request to Venkat Prabhu for Mankatha movie

It is a trend in Kollywood for mass heroes to have a song that speaks highly of their stature or achievements. Ajith has been following this trend since his film Dheena, which released in 2001, with the song Thalapola Varuma.

After a decade of including such songs in his films, the star has requested Venkat Prabhu, the director of Mankatha, not to go in for such a song in the film, say sources.

The talk in Kollywood is that - will Venkat take note of Ajith’s request and do away with it or include such a song for commercial viability.
