Financial problems In 2014, Lingusamy produced
Suriya-starrer
Anjaan, which was directed by himself, and
Kamal Haasan's
Uttama Villain (2015), which was directed by
Ramesh Aravind. The producer suffered losses, because of the failure of
Anjaan, which affected the production of the latter. Hence, in order to overcome the losses, Thirrupathi Brothers, sold the rights of
Uttama Villain and the
Sivakarthikeyan-starrer
Rajinimurugan (2015), to
Eros International, and also borrowed money from local distributors, during the release of
Uttama Villain. However, a week before its release, producer R. Thangaraj of Thangam Cinemas, filed a case to stay the release of the film, since Lingusamy had to pay an amount of crore, to the producer. But, as per sources, the company has a deficit crore, at the time of the release, which led to a wrangle between financiers and producers. Due to the dispute, the film which was initially slated to release on 1 May 2015, had a delayed release, leading to a loss of crore. The film was a failure upon its release, leading to huge financial crisis for the production house. The banner's next production
Rajinimurugan, which was initially slated to release in September 2015, had a delay, because of the financial crisis, and the producer, who has to settle payment for Eros International, which ballooned the amount to 20 crore, after the failure of
Uttama Villain. After setting disputes, the film was released in January 2016, and was a commercial success. But the financial crisis of the company, led to halt their other projects;
Idam Porul Yaeval, which was directed by
Seenu Ramasamy, starring
