Not ready to disappoint Ajith fans who would not be able to see their Thala on screen in 'Mankatha' as planned on May 1, director Venkat Prabhu and his team are working to release the film's audio on the birthday of the Ultimate Star.

Circles close to Venkat Prabhu told IndiaGlitz that the movie's music album, composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, will be released on May 1 at a grand function in Chennai. "The film will hit the screens within the next few weeks of the audio release," they said.

"A couple of crucial scenes and songs have to be shot. Venkat Prabhu is currently working round the clock on ‘Mankatha’. So the film would sure see the light of the day in a couple of months," they said, adding all the nine songs composed for 'Mankatha' by Yuvan would top the charts.

Produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri's Cloud Nine movies, 'Mankatha', Ajith 50th film, has Trisha, Arjun, Premji, Vaibhav, Lakshmi Rai and Anjali in lead roles.
