The latest player in the mega ‘Mankatha’ game is Anjali. The ‘Angadi Theru’ salesgirl will play an important role in this 50th film of Ajith, a multistarrer being directed by Venkat Prabhu.

Anjali is the leading lady of ‘Thoonga Nagaram’, produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri. “She bagged ‘Mankatha’ offer since Dhayanidhi’s Cloud Nine Movies is producing ‘Mankatha’ too,” say sources.

Happy about sharing the screen space with the ‘Thala’, Anjali says, “it was a great experience. I am really happy and excited to be part of an important film of Ajith. Thanks to everyone involved in it.”

‘Mankatha’ already has Arjun, Lakshmi Rai, Premji Amaran, Vaibhav and other actors playing crucial roles. “The film is going to be a real treat for Ajith fans on his birthday May 1,” says Venkat Prabhu.
