The world-wide rights of superstar Rajinikanth’s much-awaited Lingaa has been bagged by Eros International.
Lingaa will be released world-wide in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi in December, the company said on Monday in a statutory filing to the BSE.
The movie, directed by K.S.Ravikumar, has Rajinikanth reprising a dual role. It is the Tamil film debut for Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha, while Anuskha Shetty plays the second female lead. Oscar winning composer A.R.Rahman has scored the music and Rockline Entertainment has produced the movie.
“The Tamil and Telugu audio launch of Lingaa is slated for November 16 in Chennai,” Eros International Media Ltd said. Along with the audio, the trailer in three languages will also be launched.
The Hindi audio is scheduled to be released soon. The music rights of the film – across the three languages – have been acquired by Eros Music.
Eros International Media managing director Sunil Lulla said audiences across the globe await the first live action film of Rajnikanth after Robot. There is a huge buzz surrounding the film and “we are very excited.”
With Eros’ global positioning, Lingaa producer Rockline Venkatesh said the film is expected to be presented on a worldwide platform with maximum reach.
