The film's producer is reportedly planning to distribute the film free of cost so that distributors and theatre owners can recover the losses they incurred from Lingaa
"Distributors who had purchased the movie on minimum guarantee have not been compensated. Hence, we want Rajinikanth sir to intervene and settle this issue within a week, failing which we will again protest in front of his house," claimed distributor Singaravelan
"It's unethical to harass Rajinikanth sir and producer Venkatesh. This matter has to be resolved amicably," the Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council said in a statement
Rajinikanth has appointed distributor Tirupur Subramaniam to settle the matter
