Venkat Prabhu has finally opened up on the inspiration for his films and even gave us a juicy little tidbit on Mankatha. Chennai 600028 was inspired from real life characters, Saroja from a whole lot of thrillers, Goa from a host of romcoms and Mankatha... he left that one dangling. According to Venkat Prabhu, every work of art is inspired from another and writers and directors thrive on such inspiration.
In Mankatha, Ajith's character has shades of grey, Venkat Prabhu confided and his performance is superlative. Given the fact that his look for the film is inspired by George Clooney, we are thinking Ajith is going to be one sexy crook in Mankatha.
