Lingaa movie awaits its release within the week, for December 12, Rajnikanth's birthday. News and updates about this movie are not far and few in between and fans have been rejoicing all the attention their superstar's film is getting. Lingaa is releasing in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, in over 5000 theaters worldwide!

Anushka and Sonakshi Sinha play the lead female roles in this film and the latter spoke of her experience in Lingaa, it is her first Tamil film and all. "I'm extremely happy that my first Kollywood film is with the Superstar. My self confidence gave me this opportunity. My dad was extremely happy when I was called in for this role. They both have acted together is Asli Nakli in Hindi and I was born a year after this film was out. My dad praised Rajni to high heavens when he knew I'd be acting with him. He told me that Rajnikanth is a hard worker, humble, religious and overall a genuine human being. Only when I started shoot did I realize how correct my dad was in description. I even realized my dad had left out many more great qualities this superstar had it made sense to me why fans were just not fans, but almost worshipped him. He was extremely encouraging to me and watched my acting closely, praising me when needed. I am a 1940 girl in Lingaa, so I wear sarees with no blouses. Acting with nothing but a swimming suit on is no fear, but acting with no blouse was so awkward, I was very shy at first. I hope to have my own position as a Kollywood actress even after Lingaa," said Sonakshi Sinha.
