The audio launch of K.S. Ravikumar’s upcoming film Lingaa starring Superstar Rajinikanth, Bollywood beauty Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Shetty was held at Sathyam Cinemas today morning. At the audio launch, the makers almost confirmed that the film would definitely be Superstar’s birthday treat to his fans.

 

Few bits of information from the audio launch: Rajinikanth stated that he was hesitant before he started Lingaa. When he was hospitalised he was in a dilemma whether he could act and dance like before. After Kochadaiiyaan’s success, fans felt bad for not seeing the real Rajinikanth on screen. That is when Thalaivar decided to do a movie and release it within this year itself. He also thanked Soorappa Babu, Sudeep and producer Munirathna for all their help, which made them finish the movie soon.

 

Director K.S. Ravikumar said that Rajinikanth constantly pushed him to complete the film soon. He disclosed that he was supposed to do a film with Soorappa Babu and Sudeep. He also added that he is deeply thankful to them for agreeing to free his dates. He also said that he wanted to apologise to Vairamuthu as they had roped in Kathy for a song because he was unavailable and it was needed urgently. Sonakshi had apprehensions about how Tamil people would accept her as a Tamil heroine. But, now, seeing the reception, Sonakshi is thankful to her fans.

 

She further added that she wanted to be known as Superstar’s heroine. Anushka Shetty mentioned that she is forever thankful to the makers for having her in the film. She also wishes that every single actor gets a chance to act with him or atleast cross his path.
