The date is finally out and the game 'Mankatha' is all set to kick-start on October 25. Ajith Kumar has gained new looks after his regular visits to gym. Portions involving Nagarjuna will be shot as the actor is back from his Telugu projects.

The first schedule is reported of being filmed in Chennai with Ajith Kumar and Premji Amaran. The latest addition to the project is Telugu-Tamil actor Vaibhav. He has already worked in couple of Venkat Prabhu's films – 'Saroja' and 'Goa'. This time, he replaces Manoj Manchu, who was supposed to play another lead role in this movie.

It's a big loss Manoj as he has been constantly losing out the offers in Tamil film industry. First was Silambarasan's 'Vaanam' and now 'Mankatha'.

Yuvan has completed tuning couple of melodies for the film and has admitted that the intro song of Ajith Kumar has come out really well.
