Rajinikanth Gallery

Rajinikanth-starrer “Lingaa” has been embroiled in controversies ever since its release. Now, these controversies are reportedly going to be fictionalised into a spoof featuring actor Powerstar` Srinivasan in the lead.

“It`s going to be made on the lines of the film Tamizh Padam`, a spoof that took a dig at several popular Tamil films without hurting the sentiments of anybody associated with it. An official announcement regarding this project will be made soon,” a source said.

Actor Srinivasan didn`t divulge much information regarding the project, but said he`s going to play the lead character.

“Yes, I`ve signed the project, but I`m not allowed to say anything more,” Srinivasan said.

Interestingly, the film will be produced by Singaravelan, who was one of the distributors of “Lingaa”.

K.S. Ravikumar-directed “Lingaa”, which released on Rajinikanth`s birthday last year, turned out to be a dud, resulting in heavy losses for its distributors who paid exorbitant price to buy and release the film.

Following the film`s poor show at the box office, a group of distributors demanded to be compensated for the losses as the film failed miserably. Rajinikanth was forced to intervene and was even made to pay over Rs.10 crore.
