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.

  lets not be bashful about the lyrical content of english in Boys.. THE TITLE OF THE FILM IS ALSO IN ENGLISH!! THIS FORUM IS IN ENGLISH !! WE SPEAK IN ENGLISH IN COLLEGE TOO.. STUDY IN ENGLISH TOO. HOWEVER PROUD WE ARE TO BE TAMILIAN OR INDIAN ATLEAST RESPECT THE MUSICAL EFFORTS BY ARR TO BRING A CERTAIN REALITY THAT EXISTS IN LIFE TODAY. WE SPEAK BOTH ENGLISH AND TAMIL AND HENCE THE USE OF BOTH LANGUAGES IN THE FILM.. LISTEN AND ENJOY AND DON'T JUDGE.. FOR ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE.. SUPPORT NEW MUSIC AND STOP TRYING TO ALWAYS BRING DOWN SOEMEONE WHEN THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB. ITS TIME TO APPRECIATE THAT WE ALL LOVE MUSIC AND SO WE SHOULD RESPECT EACH MUSICIAN IN HIS OR HER OWN AVENUES OF MUSIC.

  I was not overly impressed with Boyz. Maybe because I expected alot more from ARR. Don't pounce on me for posting my opinion. I feel that Boyz has too much western influence in it. It is almost to the point of making me feel that it is not a TFM album.
