At the audio launch of Lingaa, Ameer revealed that he had registered the title Lingaa a few years ago. “When KS Ravikumar told me that he wanted this title for Rajinikanth’s film, I had no qualms about giving it to him.” He further added, “I wanted to use the title Lingaa for a film that I wanted to do with Dhanush. I had plans to act with him.”
Produced by Rockline Entertainments, Lingaa has Sonakshi Sinha, Anushka, Santhanam, Vijayakumar and Karunakaran. AR Rahman has composed music, while Rathnavelu has handled cinematography.
