Today marks the tenth anniversary of Venkat Prabhu`s debut as a director with the path breaking film Chennai 600028` which is now celebrated as a cult classic. One can safely say that VP is the pioneer of new age films and opened the floodgates for the Balaji Mohans, Karthick Subbarajs, Nalan Kumarawamys and Ranjith find their footing. Even during the early 2000s Tamil cinema was in the clutches of the so called commercialism which simply meant that even in an out and out family drama the hero had a couple of fights and an item number.

Chennai 600028` broke many taboos with its focus on the core subject of gully cricket and gave it the treatment, it deserved and that is why it is close to the hearts of millions around the world. The director then went on to tread the less traveled path, be it his holiday Goa`, his diet Biriyani`, his sixer Mass` or his reunion Chennai 600028`. It is no exaggeration to state that his game Mankatha` brought back into the reckoning the real Thala.

We congratulate Venkat Prabhu and expect more innovations from him and as our own quirky gift here we attach the unoriginal fabricated Mankatha 2` story. ALSO READ : Ajith-Vijay 'Mangatha 2' directed by VP UNBELIEVABLE storyline here
