Justice T.S. Sivagnanam of the Madras High Court on Tuesday directed the government side to respond to a petition by a distributor of Rajinikanth-starrer ‘Lingaa’ seeking police permission to go on a fast here.
The petitioner is demanding compensation for ‘loss’ as the film was a ‘failure.’
The petition had been filed by Marina Pictures, represented by its managing partner R.Singaravadivelan.
He said that he was the distributor of the film in Tiruchirappalli and Thanjavur districts.
As the film was a failure, theatre owners suffered and requested him to repay the sum taken from them. He made representations to the producer and the actor. As there was no response, he filed the present petition.
