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>http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/66715.html</ref> |
|||
== Release == |
|||
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</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>http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/66715.html</ref> 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</ref> while the single track released on 20 May 2011. |
