Ajith is no slave to convention. He disbanded his fan clubs but that did not change their love for him. His 50th film Mankatha created a tidal wave of anticipation with every small thing about the film making news. Whether he cooked biriyani and pasta for everyone or his daredevilry on the bike, the fans ate it all up. And it was a rare instance when the film lived up to the hype and hoopla.
