Well, one would wonder why this has happened, as the media is coming out with regular updates and news regarding day to day progress of Mangatha shooting schedule. Thala Ajith fans are also disappointed to hear the news as they worry if something had want wrong in the shooting spot..

After a bit of enquiry with the Mangatha crew we have learned that it is the director's decision which has caused the slow down. Venkat Prabhu has jumped into the post production works of Mangatha. Usually filmmakers take up post production works only after the completion of whole movie, but Venkat Prabhu has made a different move.
It is heard that Venkat Prabhu is finishing off the post production work immediately after the end of that particular portion. As Venkat Prabhu is aware of films postponing their release dates due to the delay of post production works, he might have opted for such a way of completing the hectic. Another reason is for the delay is said to be the rains.
