A self-proclaimed fan of "Thala" Ajith, Simbu was present today (August 31), to watch the first day first show of Ajith's 50th film 'Mankatha' from Chennai. Simbu, who has many times openly declared that he is an ardent fan of Thala, took an off from his shooting schedule of 'Osthi' to watch 'Mankatha' as a fan.

The shooting for 'Osthi' has been going on full swing with hero Simbu in attendance, from Mysore. But the actor has cancelled his shoot today to cheer his thala along with thousands of Ajith fans across the state.

And what an opening it has been for 'Mankatha!' Thala has hit the bull's eye with his portrayal of Vinayak Mahadevan - what a way to hit the 50th film in one's career. The film has evolved as one of the best entertainers of Ajith till date, with his fans getting a good dose of their icon, be it in dance, romance or the stunts.

'Mankatha,' despite a huge star cast has Ajith written all over it. Kudus to Venkat Prabhu for providing an all round entertainer this time with a big star on board and continuing his successful innings in the Tamil film industry!
