Film title after Rajni's grandson

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

Lingaa is the second son of actor Dhanush and his wife Aishwarya, who is Rajnikanth’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,” said a source from the film’s unit.

KS Ravikumar, who will be directing the project, shared a poster of Lingaa on his official Facebook page recently.

In the poster, actresses Sonakshi Sinha, Anushka Shetty and AR 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 Rajnikanth.
