Superstar Rajinikanth-starrer Tamil film "Lingaa" was
officially launched here Friday with a customary puja on the occasion of
Akshaya Trithiya.

Rajinikanth, along with the film's director K.S. Ravikumar, were present at the event.

Clad in a white silk dhoti and shirt, Rajini was also joined by his
friend and Kannada superstar Ambareesh and his wife Sumalatha at the
launch, which took place inside the premises of the famous
Chamundeshwari Temple.

"The film has been officially launched and the regular shooting is
expected to start in a few days," a source from the film's unit told
IANS.

Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Shetty will be playing the female leads in
the film, for which double Oscar-winning composer A.R Rahman will
compose the tunes.

Rajinikanth's next titled after his grandson

  A week before the release of Tamil period-drama
"Kochadaiiyaan", superstar Rajinikanth is expected to start shooting for
his next film titled "Lingaaa", which has been named after one of his
grandsons.

Lingaa is the second son of actor Dhanush and his wife Aishwarya, who is Rajinikanth's daughter.

"The film has been titled 'Lingaa'. If all goes well, we might start
shooting from the first week of May. I can't reveal more details about
the project at the moment," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

K.S. Ravikumar, who will be directing the project, shared a poster titled "Lingaa" on his official Facebook page Tuesday.

In the poster, actresses Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Shetty and A.R. Rahman are featured with the superstar.

Double Oscar-winning composer Rahman will compose the tunes for the film, which will be his seventh project with Rajinikanth.
