Rajinikanth to play grandfather-grandson in Lingaa

The latest news about Lingaa is interesting. It is well-known that story of Lingaa spans two different time periods, pre-independence set in 1940s and the present. Sources say Rajnikanth is enacting a dual role of a District Collector and Chief Engineer. The pre-independence character of Thalaivar is sketched as a grandfather figure and the present day role is his grandson.

Though both Rajinis won’t come alive in the same frame, it is exciting enough for fans to root for Superstar irrespective of any avatar. KS Ravikumar is planning to release the film as promised on December 12, Rajinikanth’s birthday.
