It’s a given the hero shines throughout the film in South movies and when it’s a Rajinikanth starrer Lingaa, it’s him all the way and the heroines will be fine with that.
But, between the two female leads, Anushka Shetty and Sonakshi Sinha, sources who saw the rushes of the film, revealed that the focus is more on Sonakshi and she is the one with the better role and more screen time.
“The promos of the film, including trailers and two songs that have already been released have received a very good response, but when it comes to the female leads, it is Sonakshi Sinha who dominates Anushka in the film,” says the source, adding, “Both Sonakshi and Anushka are popular for their glamour quotient, but in Lingaa it is Sonakshi who is going to be the highlight.”
Sonakshi plays a village belle who appears in Rajini’s early life in the period drama. This, on screen, is a flashback.
Anushka, meanwhile, plays a modern woman who helps Rajini-kanth connect with his past.
The film is all set to release on December 12, which is Rajinikanth’s birthday.
Jagapathi Babu is playing the main villain in the film, directed by K. S. Ravikumar.
