AR Rahman's Tamil Blockbuster "BOYS"

Rahman's much anticipated "Boys" is set to release soon and everyone is keen on finding out more about this album. Who are the singers? What are the soundtracks like? When is the release date? Will the album be delayed? If anyone has any idea; please post here....

Also; use this thread to discuss this album..

Here is what i found::

Typical of Shankar, the director is not prepared to say much about the film at this point. However, it is known that the film will be very youthful, almost teeny-bop, in content, with the majority of the cast being in the 16-23 age group.

Shankar, apparently, has decided to cast all new faces in his film – and the younger the better.

In fact, a mention in various Tamil periodicals, and an accompanying advertisement to the effect that Shankar was looking for new faces, has created a headache of sorts for the producers. Curriculums vitae have been pouring in to the Surya Movies post box ever since the ad and the story ran in the vernacular press – and last heard from, the flood shows no signs of abating.

Curiously enough, the ad appears – thanks to emails and discussion groups – to have reached an audience abroad as well, with the result that newer batches of applications have US, British and suchlike stamps on them, which suits the producer and director fine since the film does incorporate a lot of NRI faces.

For Shankar, Boys will be a return to romance after Kadhalan, and to comedy after the Aishwarya Rai-Prashanth starrer Jeans. Though the film will feature fresh – and ergo, inexpensive – faces, Shankar maintains that the film will be typical of his style, which means lavish budgets, and expensive production values.

  i don't think Vivek was wasted, he doesn't need to always do some pracharam to get noticed.
  Infact it was good to see vivek underplaying.
  
  harinis dad was also shalini's dad in AP.
  Neraya ponnu pethurkar :)

  Speaking of comedians who can do a bit of serious acting, Chinni Jayanth isnt too bad. Of course, avan comedy bayangara stereo-type. Aana serious nalla pannuvaan. Kizhakku Vaasal is a good example.
  (btw, it is KV rite? or some other karthik film..)

  Bombay Dreams x 2, LOTR, Chinese movie, and all his hindhi movies. oh look there are projects that have kept him away from thamizh music.

  ARR has composed music for the hollywood made chinese movie, 'Warriors of heaven and earth". The movie was a big hit and many of the distuinguished directors are impressed with his music. And the maestro is having a few more holly wood contracts in his hands. i think he created such medicro music for those tamil films which hve floped becoz he knows that they are going to be flops anyway. ARR listens to the movies' scripts before he starts composing. do you know that he only compose great songs for the movies which he thinks that worth his effort. So, get the facts clear before you start condemning somebody who is as great as ARR and somebody who actually is bringing the indians or specifically the tamilians to greater heights..........
