Why was Lingaa trimmed?

Though Lingaa has been making waves at the box office, following requests from fans and few theater owners to ensure back-to-back screenings, the makers of the movie have agreed to trim the movie.

Now the first half is shortened by six minutes and three minutes in the latter part. Lingaa stars Rajinikanth, Anushka and Sonakshi in the lead roles. Music is by AR Rahman and the movie is directed by K S Ravikumar. The movie released on 12 December in over 700  screens in Tamilnadu.
