In a recent interview to a national daily, director Venkat Prabhu has said that he has kept Mankatha simple as he wants even a child to understand the film. According to the director, he did not want to get too experimental with Ajith’s 50th film considering the stakes involved.
When asked about his next project, Venkat Prabhu said that he has not yet decided about it but may make a sequel of Chennai 28. The director is however skeptical about this project because he feels that if not handled properly it may not get the response Chennai 28 had got.
