Venkat Prabhu is known for his bold stories. He is said to be in talks for Ajith Kumar's AK64. But his recent blunder with Vijay's GOAT is a cause of concern.
Vijay acted in two roles in GOAT, but the movie couldn't make it to expectations. The critics felt that the movie had no inspiration at all and didn't use the talent of Vijay properly. Decent collections at the box office have raised some questions regarding Venkat Prabhu's handling with yet another project with a superstar.

The reported AK64 has fans going tizzy. Venkat Prabhu's inconsistency is a risk, though Mankatha proved the potential of their combination. The fans wonder whether the director can come out with a film innovative and mass appeal as demanded by Ajith.
Trade analysts feel that AK64 would be a test and an opportunity for Venkat Prabhu. Ajith can have a shock if things go wrong. But then again, the director, Venkat Prabhu might repeat the success that happened with Mankatha by getting the right script.

This, although an interesting concept, can go terribly wrong for Venkat Prabhu and Ajith through their comeback for AK 64. Fans expect to enjoy Mankatha, but the director's past work somewhat douses the hope. Only time and it alone will say whether this reunion can bring the magic.
