By Avinash

With Rockline Venkatesh's official announcement, Lingaa is all ready to treat its fans on Superstar's birthday. With little over 2 weeks to go before Lingaa will set 5000 screens on fire all over the world, fans are already thrilled about this magnum opus for reasons more than one and are waiting for the advance bookings to be opened by their favourite theatres.

There is a keen interest surrounding the movie not only from fans but also from the critics as Rajinikanth will be seen in a real live action movie after 4 long years as his last release Kochadaiiyaan was a motion capture film that did not satisfy Rajinikanth fans. Also Lingaa will mark the reunion of 3 stalwarts of Tamil cinema known for their commercially acclaimed films.

Last time when Rajinikanth, KS Ravikumar and AR Rahman came together to produce a blockbuster hit in 1999, the film was indeed embraced by everyone as it had almost everything that a Rajinikanth fan would expect from his movie.

Although Enthiran was a real trend setter in terms of technology and box office collections, the fact remains that it did not satisfy Rajinikanth fans to the fullest as it did not have the usual punch a Rajinikanth film would always carry. That's where KS Ravikumar's role as a director comes into play as he knows what exactly to do when he is casting a hero of Rajinikanth's stature.

So what exactly should one look out for in Lingaa? Well we have come up with not just one but 10 factors one should look out for in the most awaited movie of the year. Check out the slides below and be prepared to watch Rajinikanth's magic on screen.
