Ajith’s much awaited Mankatha directed by Venkat Prabhu is all set to grace theatres in July. Meanwhile, the latest buzz is that A.R. Murugadoss’ 7Aum Arivu, starring Suriya and Shruti Haasan in the lead roles, is also likely to hit screens on the same day.

Mankatha, which is Ajith’s 50th film, has a huge star cast, which includes Trisha, Arjun, Lakshmi Rai, Anjali, Premji, Ashwin, Vaibhav, Mahant, Anjali, Andrea and others. Cloud Nine Movies has produced this action thriller which is rumoured to narrate the story of match-fixing sagas in international cricket matches.

Murugadoss’ 7Aum Arivu, produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin, has a science fiction plot and the director has already assured that the film will be a never-seen-before story in Kollywood. The technical team includes Harris Jayaraj (music), Ravi K. Chandran (cinematography) and Anthony Gonsalves (editing). The film is based on the life of a circus artiste and Suriya plays the role of a trapeze artiste cum animal trainer. Sources reveal that Suriya will be seen in a dual role, playing a contemporary character in one scene and another (through flashback) in a previous birth.

So this July get ready for the biggest clash at the box office!
