Recently
a
filmmaker
from
Madurai
had
filed
a
case
against
Lingaa
requesting
the
court
to
ban
the
release
of
the
most
anticipated
movie
of
the
year
making
claims
that
Lingaa
is
a
rip-off
of
his
2013
film
Mullai
Vanam
999.
The
petitioner
named
Ravi
Rathinam
had
filed
the
case
on
November
11
2014
taking
everyone
by
surprise.
Now,
according
to
the
latest
buzz,
Superstar
Rajinikanth
is
not
very
happy
about
the
case
that
has
been
filed
against
his
movie
with
just
less
than
a
month
for
its
release.
Producer
Kalaipuli
S.
Thanu
has
offered
support
to
Lingaa
and
its
team
by
condemning
the
act
of
the
petitioner.
It
is
understandable
if
someone
demands
for
a
ban
of
a
movie
after
its
release
but
jumping
to
conclusions
just
by
seeing
the
teaser
and
posters
and
moving
to
court
seeking
a
ban
for
other
reasons
is
unacceptable,
the
producer
has
said.
It
is
to
be
noted
that
Kalaipuli
S.
Thanu
had
faced
a
similar
situation
before
when
his
movies
Kanthaswamy
and
Thuppakki
were
scheduled
to
release.
He
has
also
asked
the
producers'
council
to
take
swift
action
to
restrain
this
unhealthy
trend.
Meanwhile
AR
Murugadoss,
who
too
faced
a
defamation
case
against
his
movie
Kaththi
has
said
that
he
knew
it
would
be
difficult
to
hide
the
truth
for
a
long
time
after
Gopi,
the
petitioner
withdrew
the
case
against
him.
Murugadoss
now
has
filed
a
defamation
case
against
Gopi
for
causing
unnecessary
trouble
and
for
degrading
his
image
as
a
director.
