Superstar Rajnikanth is gearing up for December 12th as his Lingaa is getting ready to hit screens. For the first time ever, he will be witnessing his movie release on the eve of his birthday, also in a record number of 3000 screens. Still, this film has to amass around 220 crores money if the local distributors are to eat some fruits. Will it be a cakewalk for Rajni?
Eros international, the co-producer of the movie, has brought the theatrical distribution rights of the movie for around 120 crores, say trade reports. That puts huge money at stake as they need to make at least 20-40 crore profits on that. Already Tamilnadu theatrical rights are sold to local distributors at 70 crores, while for AP and Telangana they are demanding 35+ crores. If one has to amass this 150 crores share from theatres, then movie should make at least 220+ crores share. This is possible only if Lingaa stands a blockbuster at box office. KS Ravikumar is directing the movie, while AR Rahman scored the music. Anushka and Sonakshi Sinha are the female leads.
