Lingaa Gallery

One of the most ambitious project of the year is hardly a month from its release. Music album of the movie, composed by AR Rahman, was launched yesterday at a grand event. The programme was filled with moments to take snippets from. And one such was the pregnant pause in KS Ravikumar's speech, followed by his silent tears.

They say it takes a lot to make others smile; but it takes a lot more to have someone cry for you. Jawahar drove the entire 'Lingaa' team emotional with his real life stunt. "We were to shoot a scene along a train, in the rain, where Rajini would walk. We had everything ready - a train artificial rain setting and a Jimmy jib to capture it all" Ravikumar begins to narrate what happened. "Just as we started rolling, the skies rolled and it really started pouring. This cuts a few electrical lines in the shooting set. Not having noticed that, and not turning an ear to the commotion on the other side, I simply urged to get the shot done with. But what had actually happened is that Jawahar, who was handling the Jimmy got electrocuted and thrown away to a distance. Rajini did not notice the cut wires too. As the conductive crane approached Rajini, Jawahar did not think twice about his condition or putting his life at stake to electricity again. He jumped up and leaped forward to remove the crane from the way, with his bare hands. Jawahar did not let the fear of shock affect his mind." Saying this, Ravikumar was moved to tears, reminiscing Jawahar's heroism. After a pause, the director proceeded to thank Jawahar and the rest of the team.
