A teaser the song was released on [[Ajith Kumar]]'s birthday, on 1 May 2011 on [[YouTube]],<ref name=autogenerated1>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110502004658/http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/66300.html IndiaGlitz - ‘Mankatha’ teaser song byte released! - Tamil Movie News<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> after plans of releasing the film or the soundtrack on that day had failed.<ref name=autogenerated1 /> As the teaser garnered high response and became a success within few days, [[Venkat Prabhu]] and [[Dayanidhi Azhagiri]] decided to launch the complete version of the song as a [[single (music)|single]] separately ahead of the complete soundtrack album.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110511112829/http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/66556.html IndiaGlitz - Get ready for ‘Mankatha’ song - Tamil Movie News<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

== Music video == |

The video was shot in [[Bangkok]] in a club called 'Club Hollywood' for four consecutive days, featuring [[Ajith Kumar]], along with dancers from [[Mumbai]] and Bangkok, while it was choreographed by Kalyan Kumar. A lot of the crowd, featuring in the music video are the people who actually visited the club during the shoot, giving it a more ‘reality’ feel.<ref name=autogenerated2>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110516054417/http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/66715.html IndiaGlitz - Ajith’s Signs 5000 ‘Mankatha’ Posters, Literally! - Tamil Movie News<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

This hip-hop song is Ajith's introduction track in the film. The song already released a couple of months before the album release and has become a hot favourite for many. It is based in a club and gives a nightlife feel. Yuvan has lent the base voice for this song, and the other singers for this track include Anitha, Premgi Amaren, Ranjith and Sucharitha. A trumpet sound is what that indicates the arrival or a celeb or a king and this song has utilized that catchy tune to introduce Ajith. |

Director Venkat Prabhu was determined to launch the soundtrack in an innovative way. He revealed that he would just release one song in the digital medium, so that it can be used for ring tones and caller tunes.<ref>[http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/showbiz/kollywood/just-one-song-mankatha-574 Just one song of Mankatha | Deccan Chronicle<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514174955/http://www.deccanchronicle.com/channels/showbiz/kollywood/just-one-song-mankatha-574 |date=14 May 2011 }}</ref> The single release would cost {{nowrap|{{INR}} 49}} and will come with a poster signed by Ajith Kumar himself. Unlike a usual signature where a lead actor signs one poster and the rest are digitalized, Ajith Kumar reportedly signed all the 5000 posters by himself in three days.<ref name=autogenerated2 /> Yuvan Shankar Raja had handed over the [[Master recording]] on 11 May 2011,<ref>[http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/may-11-02/ajith-mankatha-12-05-11.html Mankatha Single Is Ready! - Ajith - Mankatha - Venkat Prabhu - Dayanidhi Alagiri - Tamil Movie News - Behindwoods.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> while the single track released on 20 May 2011. |
