Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council stated that Rajini sir’s films have box office high success rate always. People who are usually associated with his films have mostly profited. It’s unfair to hold him responsible for the losses of his film ‘Lingaa’. We strongly condemn the decision of the distributors to beg for compensation .
“It’s unethical to harass Rajinikanth sir and producer Venkatesh. This matter has to be resolved peacefully,” added the statement.
When producer Rockline Venkatesh agreed to settle only about 10 percent of the losses, the distributors decided to go on a begging protest outside Rajinikanth’s residence.
