Contrary to some media reports that held the ‘Mankatha’ cast is in Mumbai city shooting for the film in the famous Dharavi area, the director of the film Venkat Prabhu has said that it was only him and his crew went to scout for the locations. Ajith and other actors were not there for any job. No shooting happened in Mumbai.

Venkat Prabhu further said the next immediate schedule will happen only in Chennai and the Mumbai schedule will happen sometime later.

Another interesting information disclosed by Venkat Prabhu is that ‘Mankatha’ will have a short animation sequence that will be created with world class techniques. The sequence that will run for 3-5 minutes will be a highlight of the film according to Venkat Prabhu.
