=== Financial problems ===
In 2014, Lingusamy produced [[Suriya]]-starrer ''[[Anjaan (2014 film)|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 {{Indian Rupee|2}} crore, to the producer. But, as per sources, the company has a deficit {{Indian Rupee|20}} 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 {{Indian Rupee|12}} crore. The film was a failure upon its release, leading to huge financial crisis for the production house.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|last=Pillai|first=Sreedhar|url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/uttama-villain-release-controversies/article7164723.ece|title=Trouble in Kollywood|date=2015-05-02|work=The Hindu|access-date=2020-03-12|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

The banner's next production ''Rajinimurugan'', which was initially slated to release on 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 {{Indian Rupee|20=}}20 crore, after the failure of ''Uttama Villain''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.moviecrow.com/News/9510/rajini-murugan-delay-until-lingusamy-settles-eros|title=Rajini Murugan to be delayed until Lingusamy settles Eros|website=www.moviecrow.com|access-date=2020-03-12}}</ref> After setting disputes, the film was released on 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 [[Vijay Sethupathi]] and [[Vishnu Vishal]], remained unreleased,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/news/2018/jan/31/seenu-ramasamy-goes-on-a-filmmaking-spree-4282.html|title=Seenu Ramasamy on a filmmaking spree|website=The New Indian Express|access-date=2020-03-13}}</ref> and other two projects ''[[Ra Ra Rajasekhar|Ra Ra Rajashekhar]]'' and ''[[Naan Thaan Siva]]'', were ultimately halted.
