Top-notch actors rarely don the greasepaint of a character with negative shades; and if they do, it's almost always a dual role where the other guy is the 'good' one. But Ajith changed all those standards through 'Mankatha' where he played an out-and-out baddie until the very end of the movie. The film celebrates its successful run of 50 days today!

It may be mentioned that 'Mankatha' is widely being referred to as the year's biggest hit and has become a turning point in Ajith's career as people have accepted his bold new avatar in all the centers.

As fans celebrate the success of 'Mankatha' all over, Ajith's ardent fan within the industry, Simbu, is launching the music of his forthcoming 'Osthi' as an ode to his thala's success.

The film directed by Venkat Prabhu has a host of stars with Ajith playing the lead, while Trisha plays the female lead; Lakshmi Rai is seen in a pivotal role. Tunes composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja are up the charts till date.
