Though Rajini movies have quite a huge fan following in Telugu, a release in the industry would not be easy now as a complaint on his earlier movie Kochadiyaan is still pending with the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC).
According to the complaint, Vikramasimha (Telugu version of Kochadaiyaan) was a big loss for distributor Lakshmi Ganapathi Films and financier Sobhan Babu.
Apparently, Rajinikanth’s wife Lata had given the distributor an assurance of 7.60 crore, in case of loss — but allegedly failed to do so, after the flick bombed.
Moreover, Rajini’s Lingaa too, was a big flop in Telugu, which has created a fear among Telugu distributors to try their hands with yet another Rajinikanth movie.
