Lingusamy is a highly successful director in the South Indian film industry, renowned for his partnerships with leading stars in Tamil and Telugu cinema. Despite his recent Telugu-Tamil bilingual "The Warriorr," starring Ram Pothineni, not meeting box office expectations upon its 2022 release, Lingusamy remains a prominent figure. While he has taken a two-year hiatus from filmmaking, he is currently gearing up to unveil his next project.
Social media speculation suggests that Lingusamy has commenced the scripting process for his upcoming directorial project, reportedly inspired by the Ramayana. Lingusamy has brought together a team of both young and seasoned writers to craft the screenplay. Working from Kodaikanal, the team is dedicated to creating a two-part film. Casting and crew selection will be finalised upon the completion of the script.
Lingusamy has found himself entangled in a dispute with Kamal Haasan regarding the financial setback incurred from the film "Uttama Villain." Lingusamy's production company filed a petition against the renowned actor at the Tamil Film Producers Council. Despite Kamal Haasan's previous pledge to collaborate on a film with Lingusamy and his brothers' production house as compensation for the loss, this commitment remains unfulfilled even nine years after the release of "Uttama Villain."
