Here comes breaking news! Thala Ajith will reportedly play a double role in his forthcoming film Mankatha, which is also his landmark 50th film. According to sources, one role will have grey shades and the other will be simple and subtle. Looks like Ajith is all set to repeat his Vaali magic again on screen.

Cloud Nine Movies has produced this action thriller which is rumoured to narrate the story of match-fixing sagas in international cricket matches. Arjun will play the role of an investigative officer who takes up the task of exposing the bookies. The film, directed by Venkat Prabhu, has a huge star cast, which includes Trisha, Arjun, Lakshmi Rai, Anjali, Premji, Ashwin, Vaibhav, Mahant and others.

And guess what is Mankatha’s byline? “Yellorum katavanga aana ivan roma ketavan.” (every one is bad but he is very bad)!
