Mankatha is the soundtrack album, composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, for the 2011 film of the same name, directed by Venkat Prabhu. The movie featured Ajith Kumar in the lead role, along with an ensemble cast including Arjun, Trisha, Vaibhav, Lakshmi Rai, Andrea Jeremiah, Premgi, and Anjali in the supporting roles. The Mankatha soundtrack was described as a “mélange of techno, melody, a couple of duets, and a mass song”.

Apart from them, there are also reports that Venkat Prabhu’s friends Vaibhav and Arvind will also be part of the film. But there is no official update yet.

Talking about the movie, Thalapathy 68 is helmed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by Archana Kalpathi under the banner of AGS Entertainment. According to reports, the makers have already started shooting for the film. It began with a customary pooja in Chennai on October 2.
