“Only films with Tamil titles are eligible for exemption of entertainment tax. ‘Lingaa’ is a Sanskrit word, but using Rajinikanth’s influence, producer Venkatesh had gotten an exemption from payment of entertainment tax,” Singaravadivelan said in his petition.

He said this has caused a loss of Rs.21 crore.

The petition will be heard on Monday (March 9).
