Story

The story starts up with a flash back where in Raja Lingeshwaran(Rajinikanth) is a rightful heir to a famous dynasty that once ruled most parts of Southern India. Natives of that village follow whatever Raja Lingeshwaram says. Because of his urge to help the poor, his nobility makes him gain that priceless love of those villagers.

Raja Lingeshwaran takes up the initiative and requests the Britishers to build a much needed dam that would serve well for the people. But his idea is opposed citing a political reason and hence he leads from the front and inspires each and every villager to take up the responsibility to build a dam for themselves without seeking help from the foreigners.

And then movie comes to present, son of Raja Lingeshwaram, Lingaa goes back to the same village to avenge and fight for the villagers’ right who are still being treated like animals. How he completes his task at hand with the help of his friends forms the remaining story to be watched in big screen.
