Rajini’s Lingaa story leaked?

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.

While this rumour is making rounds in the tinsel town, film analysts wonder if Rajini would be touching upon such a sensitive issue at this stage of his career. Well, only an official announcement from the team will ward off all the rumours about Lingaa which is progressing amidst a lot of protests in Karnataka.
