CHENNAI: If director K S Ravikumar had gotten his way, Lingaa may have ended up being named Venkaiyaa. Speaking at an epic function organised to launch the film's audio on Sunday, Ravikumar revealed, "I came up with this name and suggested it to him. He said it was nice, but wanted something more forceful. A few days later, he called me and said 'Why don't we name it Lingaa?' I agreed," he said.
