Lingaa opening song is visually stunning
Cinematographer Rathnavelu, fondly called as Randy in the industry, is overwhelmed after working with Superstar Rajinikanth in his back-to-back live action films – Endhiran and Lingaa. Randy showers praise on Rajinikanth’s humility for the star stature he carries. “He will not step out of the frame till he gets a proper okay. He will behave as if it’s his first film. He is willing to learn and trusts the director and technicians totally. Sadly, this quality is missing in some established actors and even in the newbies,” says Randy.
“You will not see typical black-and-white, sepia or de-saturated looks for the pre-Independence scenes. In Lingaa, there’s so much positivity about this time in history. So I’ve kept it visually vibrant. When the film swings to the present, the sets turn slick, Rajini is robust, and his look reminiscent of his 1990s hits. The introductory song is visually stunning; we shot in Macau and at Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi,” adds Randy.
Lingaa is all set for a grand release on December 12th, 2014 on Rajinikanth’s birthday.
