Director KS Ravi Kumar has broken his silence over the brickbats on Lingaa’s climax episode where Rajinikanth jumps to catch a balloon and fights with antagonist Jagapathi Babu. Retaliating the criticism, Ravi Kumar drew comparisons between Rajini and Hollywood superstar films like Superman, Spiderman, Batman, X-man and said, “When audiences are enjoying the over-the-top Hollywood superstar films like Superman, Spiderman etc, what’s the wrong in Rajini jumping to catch the balloon in air and fighting with goons?
Is Rajini not a superstar?” Ravi Kumar lamented the critics for their remarks on Lingaa. Quashing the criticism, the auteur of films like Narasimha (Padiyappa), Muthu termed Lingaa as “classic” in Rajini’s career. “Lingaa is classic in Rajini’s career. Rajini loved the script a lot and it has been tailor-made for family audiences.”
Commenting on the film’s lag, he admitted and said, “We have trimmed the film by nine minutes on the request of fans and audience. Since the movie was released during exam time, we’re expecting more crowds during upcoming holiday season.”
