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.

  You guys were once visiting here regularly. But vansished for quite a long while. It seems that when ARR was fading so badly and released so many bad to mediocre albums lately you guys just disappeared. But now when he won a national award you guys seem to surface in many threads. How come?

  wow this is great news! i dont know if you you have already seen this...
  
  http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=13208728
  
  "Suddenly Boys has become the largest selling cassette in the last two years and may change the fortunes of the music industry"
  
  i was really happy to see this. i was initially very disappointed to see that only 60,000 cassettes were ordered (that was ofcourse before the audio released). but now every thing seems to have changed... it fells like the time of thayya thayya, in almost every street, in some small shop or a big one, almost any where i go, i can listen to some song or the other of "boys" playing(just like in the case of thayya thayya).
  
  bye
  100% enjoying every song of boys

  Hi all....
  here is some useful info...for those who care....
  The background score of Parsuram was handed 2 me by arr as
  he was really busy with some other work overseas..
  I tried to provide a decent score (2 an average movie!)though due
  2 solid interference from the director I left the film with him to
  complete it...so 80 % of the score credit should go to the director
  who had no qualms in using stuff from matrix or whatever
  since arr or me were not around...so please kindly refrain from
  blaming anybody else for an average score...
  ofcourse there was a informative article in kumudham from the
  producer(anbalaya prabhakar)r of this film too!!!!
  There is no rift between Arr and Shankar at all.....to end all
  speculations.....
  Rahman did compose all the 6 songs released..and I did some
  work on 3 of them...this was made outa contro byl a tamil daily...
  Arr had asked Shankar to get me to compose and finish the
  ayyappa trk as again the was really busy completing the audio
  mix of boys which was 2 be released shortly..and the ayyappa
  song is only a bit song in the movie....it is surely not koothu and
  the lyrics by Vaalli are fabulous..
  soo...there are no bad vibes in our camp at all...
  for some of you out there....no need 2 panic...have a chill pill and
  enjoy music
  ARR ..chill as ever...rulz...always..and a great friend 2 me he
  is..alwayz..no matter what the press says...

  pravin mani,
  
  its really nice to hear frm u that u hav given some inputs for boys songs and ARR is really busy. and probably ur the one behind his songs after HJ's exit frm ARR camp.God, ur an unsung hero Pravin, how generous ur.well i think u too deserve an award.
  BTW thx for the info.

  Typical rajasaranam response :) It is now a small step to claiming that the two NA's post the HJ exit is due to PM! I am sure the day is not far off when that small step will be surmounted.

  lollllssssss
  
  Music4ever,
  
  and if iam going to take that small step too how r u going to defend it with a post like this frm pravinmani[nane than].during KM too ARR was busy overseas.so if ARR is busy we can conclude that the scores r done by Pravin mani. and can u say when ARR is not busy??????

  ‘Boys’ audio is a hit
  
  A.M.Ratnam’s Telugu version of Boys is one of the hottest film in the trade. Its audio is doing extremely well and the song “Girlfriend…” is on everybody’s lips.
  
  Producer Ratnam and Siva Ganesh have written the lyrics of the songs that are mainly a mixture of Telugu and English. Since the music has caught up like wild fire the film is sure to be a hit with youngsters.
  
  The director and producer are giving finishing touches to the film, which has an all-new star cast. The film due for release on August 15 may be delayed by a week.
