It was a big treat for Thalaivar fans to see him on the big screens in Lingaa, on his birthday. Getting to see him on screen in live action after a big gap made it all the more exciting. All went well and fans were happy with the movie. Lingaa has been well received by the fans, but it looks like all is not well with the distributors and theatre owners.

Latest reports suggest that a section of theatre owners and distributors are planning to meet Superstar Rajinikanth and put forth their grievances to him, over incurring losses due to Lingaa. However, Vendhar Movies recently gave a statement that the initial days did not see enough family crowds at the theatres due to the Half-yearly exams and that now the numbers have started to pick up at the theatres.

The statement also revealed that initially over 600 theatres screened Lingaa but now the number of screens have been brought down to 450. Stay tuned for more updates...
