Superstar Rajinikanth's latest film 'Lingaa' Releases Today Friday Dec 12,2014

 

Superstar Rajinikanth's latest film 'Lingaa' may have made headlines for its recent controversy, but it hasn't failed to dampen the buzz surrounding the film.

Going by the fact that multiplexes are scheduling multiple shows to fans smearing his posters with milk, and as pictures show his Japanese fans waking up early to catch the first show, Rajinikanth's film is expected to register a record breaking opening.

 

 

 

''Lingaa'' producer directed to deposit Rs. 10 crore

The Madras High Court Bench in Madurai on Thursday Dec 11,2014 permitted ‘Rockline’ Venkatesh, producer of Rajinikanth-starrer Lingaa, to release the movie on Friday on condition that he deposit Rs.5 crore, besides providing a bank guarantee for an equal sum to the credit of the Registrar (Administration) of the Bench.

A Division Bench of Justices V. Dhanapalan and V.M. Velumani ordered that the movie be released by 1 a.m. Friday, the actor’s birthday, if the producer could deposit Rs.3 crore in the bank account of the Registrar through online transfer by Thursday evening. The rest of the money as well as the bank guarantee could be handed over by Monday Dec 15,2014

The order was passed on a writ appeal filed by an aspiring filmmaker, K.R. Ravi Rathinam, alleging theft of his script for making the movie. Holding that the appellant could not invoke the writ jurisdiction of the High Court to redress his grievance, the judges gave him four weeks to initiate civil as well as criminal proceedings before the lower courts.

In an unprecedented Rajini blitz, all cinema theatres in Puducherry and its suburbs are set to screen the Superstar’s Lingaa scheduled for release on his birthday on Friday.

Directed by K.S. Ravikumar, the film will be screened in 12 screens including seven in the city proper.

This sets a new benchmark for releases featuring the superstars, including Rajinikanth himself.

Usually, the big budget releases by stars such as Kamal Hassan, Vijay, Suriya, Ajit or Vikram get a maximum of three screens in the city.
Theatres in the city have approximately sold out over 60,000 tickets in advance and online for the opening weekend.
