Finally the official date of 'Mankatha's release has been confirmed, and by Dhayanidhi Alagiri himself. "Sun TV confirms the release of Mankatha on August 31!" he said.

Although the date was announced as August 31 few days back, there was confusion among fans as the film saw change of hands from Cloud Nine Movies to Studio Green and now to Sun Pictures. Cloud Nine and Sun pictures together will market and distribute this biggie, which is much-expected due to reasons many. It may be mentioned that Sun TV has also bagged the satellite rights of the film.

However, Sun Pictures are releasing the film on the promised date to fans. Fans can now watch this multi-starrer biggie on the Vinayaka Chaturthi - Ramzan weekend.
