From another thread,

Why can't Rajini find a good director like Mahendran, Balki, Baala, Bharathiraaja to direct a movie that fits Rajini's age and style of acting? How did Rajini approve the crappy dance sequences (Mexican style dance & tune in an ancient Tamil period) with two young females who are a quarter of his age? With two massive back-to-back flops, Rajini should really look at what the fans want from him.
Balki along the likes of Mahendran, Baala, and Bharathiraaja? Seriously? Would it be the same Balki who directed two ordinary movies propped up by masters like Ilayaraja and PC Sreeram? The same Balki who made a mockery of progeria children in his second movie and got away lightly? This comment alone is sufficient to ignore this poster but then look at the next line.

"Mexican style dance & tune in an ancient Tamil period" - He is referring to "Mona Gasolina" song. In the movie, that song features the current day Lingaa (grandson of King Lingeswaran) and Anushka and so not "ancient" Tamil period. It is also only a dream song sequence. So, what is wrong in using a Mexican style tune?

While "Lingaa" did not meet expectations, it did make more than its budget and so it is all profit for the producer. The problem the distributors are having is that they paid a hefty sum and it hasn't collected that much. So they are requesting Rajni to step in and request the producer to compensate them for their losses.
