The actor while he signs a film always has a clause that he will not attend any promotional events of his films. In a recent interview, the actor has made it clear: "I would like my films to speak for itself." 

To be fair to Ajith, he never attends any functions and during the previous regimes time he was forced to come to a 'Paratuvizha of the then chief minister Karunanidhi organised by Tamil film industry.'

At that function he bitterly complained to the CM on how he was forced to come for the function. In fact after his speech superstar Rajinikanth got up from his seat and gave Ajith a standing ovation.

As we had reported earlier the Mankatha audio is being quietly launched to the stores on August 10.

A press meet and a trailer and song release function is being arranged at a preview theatre in Saligramam.
