      To pull the heist, V. removed the bolts attaching the tractor to the trailer while hanging from the undercarriage. After the switch, there's no way he could have reattached them while the vehicles were stopped at a police checkpoint to keep the change undetected until the drivers reached their destination.

    Strictly No Rules
    Mankatha is an Ajith movie all the way. It is a complete action thriller that will narrate the match fixing sagas in international cricket matches.

    First time in Tamil cinema history Hero playing totally negative role. Only we show on Hollywood movies.

    Mankatha is a racy movie with many twists that keeps everyone glued to the screen till the end of the film. At the end of the movie the bloopers shown of the all the stars are quite a laugh riot.

    Undoubtedly Mankatha music composed by the popular Tamil music director Yuvan Shankar Raja is rocking Ajith fans already.
