 Rumours are rife in Kollywood that the Rajinikanth starrer Lingaa is based on the Mullai Periyar Dam issue. Unofficial sources say that the Superstar plays in a role for which director KS Ravi Kumar has drawn inspiration from the British engineer John Pennycuick, who was instrumental in building the Dam.
