Four more distributors of Rajinikanth-starrer Lingaa move Madras high court
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/c...w/45791390.cms
CHENNAI: Signalling more trouble for superstar Rajinikanth and producer of his latest film "Lingaa," four more film distributors covering almost all areas of Tamil Nadu have moved the Madras high court seeking permission to hold a fast in Chennai to highlight losses suffered by distributors of the film and theatre owners.
The film was released on December 12, the actor's birthday.
Marina Pictures was the first distributor to move the court after the Chennai city police failed to process its plea to hold the fast on January 10.
By the time Justice T S Sivagnanam took up the matter for hearing on Wednesday, four more distributors joined the issue.
While Marina said it suffered losses in Trichy and Thanjavur area, Vijayabhargavi Entertainers said they suffered losses in the Chengalpet region.
Capricorn Pictures said it incurred loss in North Arcot and South Arcot circles. Sukra Film and Chandrakala Movies claimed they lost money in Coimbatore and the Tiruneveli-Tuticorin region respectively.
Justice Sivagnanam gave the Chennai police 48 hours to take a decision on granting permission for the distributors of "Lingaa" to hold the hunger strike here. The police shall take a decision by 11am on Friday.
In its petition, Marina Pictures had said it released the film in Trichy and Thanjavur areas after purchasing its theatre rights for Rs 8 crore.
Claiming that the distributors and several theatre owners had suffered losses, the petitioner said neither the producer nor actor Rajinikanth was willing to talk to them.
In order to highlight the losses and plight suffered by the distributors and theatre owners, Marina Pictures approached the Chennai police for permission to hold the fast. As police had not taken any decision on the matter, the petitioners moved the high court for a direction to the police to permit them to hold the stir at Valluvar Kottam or the government guest house near Chetpet.

So when was the last time Jayapradha or Sripriya played a leading role in a Tamil film?Quote:

Didn't you know the business model before signing Lingaa deal? I mean the Mannulipaambu deal? Was this deal only specific to Lingaa / Mannulipaambu? How was the deal for Kathi?
Who the f--k are you to comment on producers? Who were the producers of Rajini's previous movies? Did you even care to check if they were from Karnataka as well?
Again who are you to question the tax exemption for this movie? Are you saying the Govt. is so stupid to certify that? Mavane nee romba pesitta.
Why don't you stick with distributing only Vijay's movies. Seems like a very smart move to me. To whose tunes are you dancing?

To your point I would be still pay for ticket and watch Rekha-ji in lead role :slurp: It all boils down to your taste, No one is forcing anyone to watch RK movies. However point taken

Reflects embarrassingly on the rest of us. Makes us look pretty stupid.
Especially considering how fans are upset that some distributor asked for his money back, and they think that shows disrespect to the star!!!
Seriously guys...
If you still want to sing the praises of the guy, then continue... I cannot help...
I hope, some day, in Kollywood, we will see genuinely talented, photogenic actors, and films with a solid screenplay, production values, etc... Some day, Kollywood films won't be so embarrassing any more...

Leo and Bimmer, that was unnecessary. We don't need to worry about it.

No body is singing praises for this guy here. You are the one unnecessarily seeking attention. If you don't like 64 year old guy dancing with 18 year old girls stay away. Also if you want to see only photogenic actors on films then stick with Bollywood please. To many of us this 64 year old guy looks a lot photogenic than many.Quote:

But after "Chandhramukhi", I felt it was time for him to retire from leading roles. Certainly, with films like "Enthiran", "Kochadaiyaan", "Lingaa"... the trend has been disappointing.
I'm not blaming Rajnikanth, I blame the directors, who try to make "formula" films, and they are not interested in quality, only in returns.
Of course, cinema is an industry, and commercial considerations are important. But when you focus 100% on commercial returns, that's when the serious fans start to feel deeply disappointed...
Anyway, best regards to everyone...

Finally, some response from makers for the haters. Hope they will close it with proper press release.
They should not pay a paise to the Thanjaavoor-Trichy distributor! Let him go on hunger strike and kill himself. It is good for Tamil cinema if he leaves this world soon!
This guy claims that the movie was made in 45 crores, that itself tells his "honesty". Whatever "loss story" he comes up with all are LIES!

“A film’s success or failure lies only with the audience. There is always loss and gain in any business and film business is no exception. Lingaa was expected to do well and on this belief, the business was done.
Therefore, on such a scenario, when there is loss, it is acceptable to approach the producer to work out some adjustments keeping their next project in mind and to compensate the loss. But it is not right to approach the hero of a film for losses. Every hero’s film will witness both up and down. To feel happy during profit and to expect the hero to intervene during losses is not right and heroes cannot follow this practice.
Therefore, the distributors should discuss with the producer on this issue and not the hero as this practice would set a bad precedence.”

Feels like the establishment against a few that lost! A great storyline for Rajini's next movie where he can he the losers' hero or savior and fight for them against the establishment. Isn't this the story line that made him the Super Star to begin with? Unfortunately, he seems to be on the other side in real though! I really, really hope he will break his silence and do the right thing here. :(Quote:

Also, if Rajni acts in another movie, these buggers will be the one again to inflate the price.
How come theater owners be middle men? They own the theaters and they are "THE" stakeholders in taking the movie to the end consumer. This is case of an overrated product oversold. A mistake from the buyers to take it at just face value. But...but....looks like this trade doesn't allow distributors to watch the movie. So, the distributors/ theatre owners do not have the chance to check the end-product. They go simply by the trust factor. That is why that guy is repeating the "10 padayappa thingy", which is what the people involved in the project told them.Quote:

Was the deal (Mannulipaambu deal) specific to Lingaa? How are other movies distributed?Quote:

Who told you enthiran or sivaji did not hurt some distributors???Quote:

The fact is Sivaji and enthiran did hurt some distributors. AVM and sun network knew how to shut those guys up.
Atleast one good thing which came out of this episode is all Black sheeps came out of shadows to show their ugly side. After all this atleast I would highly recommend Thaliavar to do something smallQuote:

Whenever you do a movie like enthiran, anniyan, this is what happens. If you ask me, somehow Lingaa got a great opening and at least it did not hurt the producers or original distributors like EROS. It has only hurt the local distributors and theatre owners, they never want to release Rajini movie as a "commision-based". They always want to take risk! Now it hurts them because they did take big risk!

Leo, can be elaborate the exact sequence of events during Chandramuki-Sachin days that prompted you to psychologically blabber whatever you have?
Chandramukhi-Sachin was the case of a young actor with man-hair and gutso deciding to lock horns with 2 reigning superstars of tamil cinema, without any fear, without any buckling, without any postponement.
Quite a complete contrast to the recent chickening out, at the sight of Vishal’s Ambala.
You guys make a big deal of Villupuram run right?
How shall we call this Marathon then? Run29? Vishal-ed Run? VishalRun29? Ambala29Run?
So Vijay standing in front of his fans ‘begging’ to watch his movie for the producer’s sake is the lowest embarrassment of all, according to some.
How about wetting your pants at the sight of Vishal and Sundar C?
To me, it cannot get any wetter than this.This puts the famous Dharmadi Dharmendra episode to shame.
Jan 02 wasn’t it, the date that marked this landmark moment?
Maybe we should trend ‘Ambala29Run’ every year.
LOL, newspaper promotions have claimed a Pongal release until the 01st of January 2015 and between the 01st and the 02nd of January, some new unfinished business cropped up?
So who is the scapegoat? Harris Jeyaraj? Gautham Vasudev Menon? AM Ratnam? Trisha? Vivek?
Oh, ok but you know ‘Thala’ tried his best for Pongal release you know?
After shamelessly chickening out of the race, you have the nerve to bring Chandramukhi-Sachin, huh?
BTW, Leo, please provide reasons for your psychological thinking. Good solid reasons/sequences of events.
With all due respect, can you elaborate?Quote:

BTW, I am more interested in your ‘Father Guy is capable of such Mischief’ stuff. Though you say you don’t have proof about the ‘Father-Son’ duo, still you seam mighty convinced about the Father Guy.
Do you have any solid reasons and again with due respect for your posts, was it just based on hearsay or worse, was it just an attempt to divert frustration of Lingaa’s monumental failure to the industry’s most loved abuse material – SAC and Vijay, just like how it has been happening right from day 1 of Lingaa’s release?
