Rajinikanth’s Lingaa is not like Kaththi: Rockline Venkatesh

A lot of speculation has surrounded superstar Rajinikanth's forthcoming film, Lingaa. Fans have been curious about what the movie is all about and there were even rumours recently that the plot of Lingaa is similar to that of Vijay's latest blockbuster, Kaththi.

Rockline Venkatesh, who is the producer of the movie, came out with a clarification after similarities were drawn between the teaser of Lingaa and Kaththi. A shot from the teaser shows Rajinikanth's character building a dam. Kathithi, which released recently, deals with the corporate exploitation of water, and the grab from the trailer of Lingaa suggests that Rajinikanth's movie also deals with the same subject. But Rockline has come out in defense of his movie and said that there is no connection between the two scripts.

'Kaththi' affects 'Lingaa' story?
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, November 08, 2014]

'Kaththi', the recently released Vijay and Samantha starrer supposedly has a similar story to Rajni's upcoming Lingaa. Sources fear that this fact might reduce the chances of Lingaa becoming a hit film and are changing a few scenes in Lingaa now.

Rockline Venkatesh, the producer of Lingaa has strongly denied any such rumours. Kaththi was based on a foreign firm taking villagers land to infilterate water, and Lingaa runs through the same plot and so KS Ravikumar is reshooting some scenes to reduce the similarities says rumours. But, the two films have no similarities says team Lingaa. They also say that Lingaa shoot completed ages back and is now in dubbing, so all this is just rumours. Only time will tell.

Kaththi , a really big break seems to have happened quite early in your career. How was it working with A.R. Murugadoss?
We met only once at a hotel when Murugadoss asked if I would work with him on his next film with Vijay. Later, when we started work, I asked him why he chose me. He said he was so surprised to see a music director being applauded when the credits rolled after Ethir Neechal. He also noticed how the kids in his apartment complex were singing my songs from Vanakkam Chennai. That’s when he decided to work with me and we gel well as a team. That’s perhaps why he also signed me on for his next Hindi film with Fox Studios, on which work will start in January.
Tell us about Vijay. Were you asked to compose a number specifically for him?
Vijay sir wanted to record at 9 a.m. (Laughs) I’m hardly up at that time. I had sent him a scratch version of ‘Selfie Pulla’. When he came to record, I realised he had already rehearsed it a few times. It was really nice to see such a busy person take the trouble. We finished recording the number in under an hour. The idea of a song for Vijay sir was there from the start. And when I travelled to Singapore for a concert, I noticed how crazy everyone was about selfies. I got the idea of ‘let’s take a selfie’ as the hook line for a song. I returned to Chennai and composed it. Of course, Vijay lent his character to it.

Kaththi has to settle for second place
Nov 09, 2014
As we have been regularly reporting, Kaththi has set the box-office on fire not just in South India but also in overseas markets. The film has set new benchmarks for 2014 in markets like UK, Australia and Malaysia.

In the US though, it looks like Kaththi has to settle for second place behind Rajini's Kochadaiiyaan which grossed around 635,000 USD. Kaththi has grossed around 622,000 USD so far and with the film already in the 3rd week of its run, not much is expected from here on.

Kaththi is the highest non-Rajini, non-Kamal grosser in the US and has set the mark very high for other stars. Lingaa meanwhile is expected to better Kaththi and live up to Rajini's lofty standards.

1. KATHTHI

Ranking based on Chennai Box Office Collections from Nov 03rd 2014 to Nov 09th 2014
Week :3
Total collections in Chennai :Rs. 6,70,98,734
Verdict:Blockbuster
No. Shows in Chennai (Weekend):165
Average Theatre Occupancy (Weekend):70%
Collection in Chennai (Weekend):Rs. 69,41,004
No. Shows in Chennai (Weekdays):324
Average Theatre Occupancy (Weekdays):40%
Collection in Chennai (Weekdays):Rs. 69,16,912
The big-budgeted Kaththi gets the Blockbuster tag by the sheer weight of its collections. It is holding on pretty well even after the new releases.
