A B'day Gift For Thala!

Director Venkat Prabhu might have preferred making multi-starrers to making films with big heroes in the past.

But then, he had never ruled out the idea of making a movie with a big hero. The director had once said, "I think it's hard to make a film for a big hero. I'm not sure if I will be able to pull it off !"

But now, it looks like Venkat's preferences have changed. He has been working on Mankatha, Ajith's 50th film, and what's more, he seems to be enjoying it.

Though the film was initially planned for a May 1 release, on Ajith's birthday, it's now been pushed for a later date. However, the latest we hear is that Venkat's planning to release the audio of the film on May 1, as a gift to Ajith.

"We are working on the album now and looking at releasing it on Thala's birthday. But Yuvan is extremely busy with his other projects. I'm hoping things work out ," says Venkat.
