SHIVAJI - AR-RAHMAN

When did Shankar + ARR worked 7 times?

all i know is that

Gentleman,
Kathalan,
Indian,
Jeans,
Muthalvan,
Boys...thats all!

what else??? how they got 7!

unless they are including Nayak....but c'mon Nayak was a remake of Muthalvan and it wasnt a huge success at all....only a fair one....

ofcource Nayak is included,coz they still worked together rite???still NAYAK is a movie project...isnt it? and Nayak audio sure was a hit,but movie bombed....

Confirmed NEWS!..MD AR RAHMAN.......Heroine RANI MUKHERJEE!....
http://tamil.galatta.com/entertainment/livewire/livewire.asp?n=raji01.txt

She has worked with Shankar before in Nayak (the remake of Muthalvan)

Rajini�s Sivaji - Heroine Rani Mukherjee

After the grand success of Chandramukhi, it was speculated as to what Rajini�s next film will be and who will direct his film. Now the news is that AVM will be producing Rajini�s next film and it is titled Sivaji. Shankar is the director of this film. There was confusion as to who would be Rajini�s pair and the other artists of this film. Rumours spread that Ash would be pairing up with Rajini, but her schedules did not match and hence she was ruled out from the heroines� list. Now it is stated that Rani Mukherjee will be the heroine and her salary - 2 crore rupees. A.R. Rehman is the music director for this film. As this film is titled in Rajini�s original name, it appears that true incidents from Rajini�s life will form a major part of this film�s plot. It is also well known now that Super star will don seven distinct characters in this mega movie.

And as always my campaign is well supported....

Evidence no 1 )..... Laast week SIFY carries another article on thotti Jaya/ Ghajini having chart topping music...

Proof no 2)..... Today Sify carries an article on A AA.... says the movie is being expected and says plus as soo many other things but the MUSIC! It doesnt say the music is topping charts, doesnt say its a HIT... doesnt say the number of requests it has been receiving on the local radio FMs, On the contrary it simply states " songs are said to be super"

Subject: 100% its Rahman for Sivaji

relax guys i had the oppurtunity 2 meet both shankar and our boss... both of them were quite confident that they are going 2 work together in SHIVAJI... story discussions are going on right now..and the shooting is likely to start by poongal...the older vertions that shankar n rahman had misunderstandings are all pranks..the both were mingling with each other like buddies....

Guys shanker was there in VIP gallery in Melbourne ARR concert and i strongly believe shanker wudnt go to Australia jus to see ARR's concert . He is working on one of the most challenging projects and possibly he wudnt get any other opppurtunity like this any time in future.And in such a situation he wont be going around having fun just like that. Even in one magazine somebody mentioned sujata wrote tat Shanker is in discussion with Rahman in Australia. I had doubts over that news.But getting to know tat shanker was there at melbourne concert , its not rumour any more...Any how we will wait till official announcement is made

Thanks Subras, this should put an end to the rumour that Shivaji will have VS. God would not have Saved Shivaji music if VS would have been there.. He claims all his 6 songs from CM are big hit first time in his career on Sun TV. 3 songs copied and 3 songs from his previous movie with a shade of ARR (in Devadu Devada opening and Koku Para Para inspired from Muthu).

VS will not be in Shivaji since Shankar has first rejected him during Mudalvan.

Shankar-Rahman reunited!
By Moviebuzz
Wednesday, 14 September , 2005, 12:07
It is almost certain- A.R.Rahman will be the music director of Shankar�s prestigious project Sivaji with Rajnikanth produced by AVM. At the moment, Shankar and Rahman are in Australia composing songs for their forthcoming blockbuster!

Rahman is right now in Australia for �Qantas Sigaram TV A.R.Rahman 3rd dimension tour 2005�, a music concert. It is a fund raiser for the Kolkotta based �Udayan� whose chief patron is Steve Waugh, the ex-captain of Australian Cricket team who supports the concert tour.

Shankar flew in to Australia on Saturday and is a part of Rahman�s entourage. He had in fact come for the concert on special invitation of Rahman to discuss the tunes of Sivaji. Late in the night, of this 10-day tour, Rahman and Shankar discuss the script and mood of the songs.

A.R.Rahman- Shankar combination is one the best in Indian cinema and they have sold more audio album than any others in Tamil film music. All their albums like, Gentleman, Kathalan, Indian, Jeans, Muthalvan, Nayak (Hindi), Boys were all chartbusters. The only Shankar film without Rahman was the recent Anniyan.

Shankar fell out briefly with Rahman over re-recording of Boys which took months. Now they have patched up, and are totally engrossed in composing five songs and the theme music of Sivaji.

It is turning out to be a dream combination, Rajnikanth- Rahman- Shankar- AVM!

Rsubras, I heard that too, VS name was proposed by ARR. But no confirmation of that. ARR and VS went to Trinity College of London. I dont know whether they were in same class but they probably know each other thru that association.

But in Mudalvan, Arjun proposed VS name to Shankar but Shankar did not take him.

Thats finally from Sify

None of them "went" to trinity college of London (getting a music degree from them doesn't require one to physically go to the school /class...They conduct exams every year, and anyone can take it. Some guys from UK would come and test ur skills in whatever instrument(or vocals) you choose. If VS and ARR are "classmates" in trinity college, then I am also their classmate in the same college )

interez,

I remember reading that in a VS interview in Vikatan. And in an interview ARR said VS is very good(from what he thought of VS in early days) and he doesn't know why it took so long for tfm to get to know VS's talents.

Just like ARR, VS is pretty simple person, he is very much liked by the singers who sing for him and he is nice to introduce each one in his troop descripttively during one of his stage show. He let Manika Vinayagham lead the show for him being the eldest. He didn't feel tempted for Sivaji, he was very much satisfied with his work for Chandramuhi Why don't Baradwaj take a weekend crash course from VS on how to talk. BTW i was a fan of VS from his early days with Arjun.

�ரசிகர்களின் விருப்பத்தை இவ்வாண்டு நிறைவேற்றுவேன்�: ஏர்.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான்

உலகின் பல நாடுகளிலும் இசை நிகழ்ச்சிகளை நடத்தி உலகப் பயணம் மேற்கொண்டு வரும் ரஹ்மான், �சிங்கப்பூர் என்றால் என்னைப் பொருத்த வரையில் எப்போதும் தனியிடம் தான்� என்றார்.

�இசைப் பயணத்தை தொடங்க வைத்த என் முதல் இசைக் கருவி முதல் இன்று வரை அனைத்து இசைக் கருவி களுமே சிங்கப்பூரிலிருந்து வாங்கியவை தான். அதனால்தான் அந்த தனியிடம்� என்றார்.

உலக அளவில் இசைப் பணியை மேற்கொண்டு இசைப் பிரியர்களின் ஒட்டுமொத்த கவனத்தையும் கவர்ந்திருக்கும் இசைப் புயல் இந்த ஆண்டு இந்திய ரசிகர்களின் விருப்பங்களை முழு மூச்சாக நிறைவேற்றப்போகிறார்.

�இந்த ஆண்டு நிறைய தமிழ், ஹிந்தி திரைப் படங்களுக்கு இசை யமைக்கிறேன்.

�தமிழில் காட்}பாதர், சிவாஜி, ஜில்லென ஒரு காதல், புலி என்று வரிசையாகப் படங்கள் காத்தி ருக்கின்றன. அதனால் நிறைய படங்கள் வருவதில்லையே என்று ரசிகர்கள் குறை சொல்ல முடியாது� என்றார் சிரித்துக் கொண்டே.

உலக இசைப் பயணத்தை தொடங்கி லண்டனிலும் ஆஸ்திரேலியாவில் மெல்பர்ன், சிட்னி என தொடர்ந்து, ஐந்தாவது நிகழ்ச்சியாக இன்று சிங்கப்பூரில் மாபெரும் இசை விருந்து படைக்கிறார்.

சிங்கப்பூர் ரசிகர்களுக்கு என் இசை புதிதில்லை என்றாலும் நேரிடையாக இன்றுதான் முதல்முறையாக சந்திக்கி றோம், சிறப்பாக அமையும் என்று உறுதியாகக் கூறினார்.

ரோஜாவில் தொடங்கி அண்மையில் வெளிவந்திருக்கும் அன்பே ஆரூயிரே வரை ஏராளமான இனிமையான பாடல்களுக்குச் சொந்தக்காரர் ரஹ்மான். தமிழ்த் திரையிசை மட்டுமல்ல, ஹிந்தி திரையுலகிலும் இசையமைத்து பெரும் புகழ் சேர்த்திருப்பவர். இவர் இசையமைக்கும் பாடல் களில் பாடல் வரிகளைக் கேட்க முடிய வில்லை, இசையே பிரதானமாக இருக்கிறது என்று குறை கூறுபவர்கள் ஒருபக்கம் இருந் தாலும் இந்திய இசை வரலாற்றில் அழுத்தந்திருத்தமாகப் பெயர் பதித்திருக்கிறார் ரஹ்மான் என் பதை யாருமே மறுக்க முடியாது. தமிழனாக, இந்தியனாகத் தலை நிமிரச் செய்திருப்பவர்.

உங்கள் வாழ்க்கையில் சாதிக்க நினைக்கும் கனவு என்ன என்ற தற்கு �கனவா? இரவில் படுத்தால் வருகிறது, பகலில் து�ங்கினால் வருவதில்லை� என்று சிரித்துக் கொண்டே ஒத்திகைக்கு கிளம்பி னார் ரஹ்மான். -லதா பாலகிருஷ்ணன் நிஜாம் ஏ ஹாஜா

The SAD thing is that our Thamilan ARR has to suck up to the Northies so much and this was so obvious in his Show in Singapore. The majority of the songs were Hindi Songs!!! Every now and then when the singers changed to Tamil lyrics, that was how limited tamil songs were in the show, it was so apparent as to how much the crowd was dominated by Tamilians. But our dear friend tamil 'throhi' did not care about it at all. He spoke almost only in English and fille his show with Hindi songs, failing to show regards to his roots!

Hello Mr. ezy, konjam vaya saathureenghala. The majority of the singers who accompanied for the whole tour (from UK - Aus----)are Hindi singers (Check the list below,). The same crew will even continue in Bangalore as well as in Srilanka too. Even Badri sir mentioned that there were many tamil songs(what u say for this?) in Melbourne when it was not it Sydney.

MADDY,

Baba was critically acclaimed one and happy that arr was part of it. It is very sad to see arr not working with epics HR, ONOK and Dass. But don't worry man, he will do his best for Shivaji and give us two thundus at one go (Baba effect + Boys effect)!

Shankar - Rahman Reunited!

http://rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://sivajimovie.blogspot.com/2005/09/shankar-rahman-reunited.html

It is almost certain- A.R.Rahman will be the music director of Shankar’s prestigious project Sivaji with Rajnikanth produced by AVM. At the moment, Shankar and Rahman are in Australia composing songs for their forthcoming blockbuster!
Rahman is right now in Australia for ‘Qantas Sigaram TV A.R.Rahman 3rd dimension tour 2005’, a music concert. It is a fund raiser for the Kolkotta based “Udayan” whose chief patron is Steve Waugh, the ex-captain of Australian Cricket team who supports the concert tour.

Shankar flew in to Australia on Saturday and is a part of Rahman’s entourage. He had in fact come for the concert on special invitation of Rahman to discuss the tunes of Sivaji. Late in the night, of this 10-day tour, Rahman and Shankar discuss the script and mood of the songs.

A.R.Rahman- Shankar combination is one the best in Indian cinema and they have sold more audio album than any others in Tamil film music. All their albums like, Gentleman, Kathalan, Indian, Jeans, Muthalvan, Nayak (Hindi), Boys were all chartbusters. The only Shankar film without Rahman was the recent Anniyan.

Shankar fell out briefly with Rahman over re-recording of Boys which took months. Now they have patched up, and are totally engrossed in composing five songs and the theme music of Sivaji.

It is turning out to be a dream combination, Rajnikanth- Rahman- Shankar- AVM!

Date of the Pooja of 'Sivaji' - Intelligence Wing

http://rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://sivajimovie.blogspot.com/2005/09/date-of-pooja-of-sivaji-intelligence.html

Friends,

It's not an easy task to trace what's in Superstar's mind. Only GOD
knows it. However, we tried severely and have collected a few info.

few days before, thalapathy spoke to some trichy fans. Trichy fans
worried abt X actor's conference and media's coverage to him. They
also expresses their angsuish abt Story which came in JV. He told
them that the concerned actor and his team is paying lumpsome money
to all important magazines to write like this. He also, requested
fans not to believe any unauthenticated new like this. For me i
request yu to take good one and leave bad one. that is the solution.

Then, Superstar has already informed us in CM what he is feeling of
the X actor's political entry. You remember the dialogue: "Let him
come...that too in one angle is good for us!!" there is thousand
meaning in this single dialogue. those who have vision can understand
that.

Superstar now fully concentrating on Sivaji in career life.

"Do the duty which is in front of you. Don't expect results. I will
take care of it" - Gita

Superstar has now few duties both on career life and personal life.

In personal life, he feels that he has one important responsibilty
left for him as a father. He wishes to fulfil that responsibility
soon. After doing that duty as a family head...he will turn towards
the other most expected area. Wait and see.
"Thadaiyethum illamal thanithaala vaendama?" - Muthu Lyric

Then, we went to pooja of Thiruapathi which was held at AVM Studios
day before yesterday. We went there, since there was a expectation
that Superstar would come. But he didn't. Only thalapathy came and
left after it was over. We notices thalapathy only when he was
leaving. We had a few minutes chance to speak with AVM Saravanana and MS GUHAN. They couldn't able to speak to us freely...since VIP's were thronging in for the pooja. However, we asked abt Sivaji pooja and schedule and release date. He answered that only Superstar would
decide this and then only we will be able to tell. really we have
left everything to Superstar and Shankar. Once Rajini decided, we
ourselves will inform to the press. I will upload the photographs
later. I have to take few more snaps to complete the role.

Also : Once, Shankar and Rahman return from Australia they will meet
superstar and the team will proceed in jet speed.
However, we spoke to some technicians and Asst.Directors there. They
have told that the Pooja may be held on the auspicous day of
Vijayadasami. I think it is falling on October 1st week.

C U soon with more news from intelligence wing desk

Aish? Or Takia? - A dilemma for 'Sivaji'
- 03.10.2005
All these days, only the media was speculating on it. Now, even Rajnikanth has spelt it out, "It would be great if Aishwarya Rai agrees to do 'Sivaji'"

Even if Aishwarya Rai wants to fulfill Rajini's wishes, it looks like that she may not be able to do so. First, a Hollywood film - its shooting is getting delayed; and she has signed up to complete the shooting even if it is delayed. So, until April next year, she is not thinking of any other film except the Hollywood film.

After finishing the Hollywood film, Aishwarya Rai's favourite producer in Bollywood is waiting for her. He wants her as a lead heroine in his next film which has a historical story. Without Aishwarya Rai, he has not even started the film for the past six months. Why? He asserts that his film without Aishwarya is like Agra without a Taj Mahal!

In a confused situation like this, they have Ayesha Takia in mind as a second choice. Having taken Bollywood and Tollywood by storm, Ayesha is currently busy with a Hindi film 'Home Delivery.' 'Sivaji' script is getting ready at super speed in the belief that Ayesha will just go ahead and accept if invited.

Rajini fans are in a quandary as to who the new Anni will be!

From: baba88 on Thu Oct 6 7:52:30 2005. [Full View]

As is the usual scenario, Rajini�s Sivaji is creating great hype about several aspects. While some sections are busy speculating on the story, others are playing the guessing game about the heroines and other members of the cast. While Aishwarya Rai had been tentatively declared.

including Rajini himself, there were other names floating around like Ayesha Takia, Trisha etc. The latest to join the list is Kareena Kapoor. A.R. Rahman has been announced as the music director. Rajinikanth is however more concerned about the story and has suggested that all other announcements can be made once the script is finalized.

From: MADDY on Sun Oct 9 9:27:50 2005. [Full View]

dinesh i just tried my hand at translation....just check to see whwther it is rite....the article is about rankings of mds based on their salaries....

do u know which md commands highest salary even now in tfm???

1.ARR.....his salary is 90 lacs. ARR who used to garner 1 crore+ has now cut down on his salary.it has been said that ARR is confirmed as the md for rajni-shankar film shivaji.shankar who had used HJ for anniyan after boys has gone back to ARR it seems.

2.if u think the second highest paid md is IR then u r wrong...it is HJ......Hj who got introduced thru minnale reached a height with kakka kakka and now with anniyan has reached a very high position.his salary is 80 lacs it seems and for his friends he cuts down by 20 lacs....

3.YSR,IR's musical heir captures the third place with continous hit songs and many films are waiting for ysr's dates....his salary seems to be 60 lacs....and it seems that he wud increase the salary as there is an increasing demand.....he seems to compromise on his salary for known ppl.......and guess wat, his best friend nowadays seems to be ARRahman...ARR has started appreciating YSR's music a lot now......

4.next to YSR in the list is VS...the salary that he got for chandramukhi is 50 lacs.....he demands salary in the range of 45-60 lacs...

5.after VS it is Bharadwaj in the list.....though his songs are super-duper hits, he has not increased his salary from 40 lacs...he has his own circle of directors and actors to work with him which is a major plus point for him....

6.and next comes IR in list/////he demands only 25-30 lacs and he has been in this salary for a long time....the maestoro seems to choose his projects and does not nod for all projects coming his way/////

7.and deva is next in the list with his son srikanth and sirpi filling the final slots....these guys dunt demand a salary and they seem to fix their salaries on basis of producers's strength, directors/actor's relationship/////deva has lot of friends in industry, now u know y//////
From: Scale on Sun Oct 9 12:48:11 2005. [Full View]

HJ 80 lacs Is this Genuine?

In my opinion,

Replace No. 2 with No 6 & Viceversa. Maestro is worth yet even for his MX,ONOK than Anniyan,Gajini or YSR latests so called hits.

I doubt ARR get paid thatmuch in TF. Shud be >60 <75 for Aa Aah. It may depends on the project & banner.

HJ,YSR,IR all shud be below <40-50 lacs.

Shriya teams up with Rajinikanth

Rajini�s Chandramukhi has rocked the film world. It has created a revolution by its grand success. Superstar�s next project is Sivaji. Shankar is the director of this film with A.R.Rehman as the music director of this film. The big suspense behind this film was about Rajini�s pair. Rumours first spread that Rani Mukherjee was to pair up with him. It was later told that Ash was to pair up with him. Finally Shriya has been chosen as Rajini�s pair. What an unexpected surprise!

Shankar, Vijay and the whole crew of CM was there.

Few things were confirmed indirectly.

1) Vijay IS THE NEXT SUPER STAR!
2) DEFT VS IS NOT DOING SHIVAJI!
3) Rajni will be doing couple more movie before even thinking abt retiring
4) Jyo didn't attend for a reason I think. (Only Shankar, P.Vasu, and Rajni spoke abt her perfomance...the rest were only abt Super Star)
5) Vadivelu is confirmed for Shivaji
6) CM elebreated 200th day function when it was only 175 days old!

When they praised the music in CM, and if at all VS doing Shivaji...they would have mentioned it.

Plus VS submitted an application on the stage "I hope I can work with Rajni sir again" ...now that clarifies it.

Prakash Raj in Sivaji
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, October 18, 2005]

Prakash Raj, the lucky mascot of director Shankar in Anniyan, has been chosen to play the main villain�s role in Sivaji.

Rajinikanth starrer Sivaji to be produced by AVM Productions features Shreya opposite the Super Star.

Now the buzz is that Prakash Raj has been chosen to play the baddie.

Prakash Raj played a police officer who cracks the series of murders in Anniyan.

Now the director has roped him to play the villain in Sivaji too.

Moreover with Prakash Raj holding a good market in Telugu film industry, casting him in Sivaji would help in making the movie a big success in Tollywood.

Prakash Raj had acted with Rajinikanth before in Padaiyappa in which he played a cameo.

K Balachander introduced Prakash Raj, much like Rajini, on screen as a villain.

So KB�s two proteges will have plenty to share between themselves.

Vasanth, Even if Vikram had come to the function, he would have been treated the same way. Rajini infact said he was filled with surprise and happiness that Vijay showed up just with an invitation amidst his tight schedule. I am pretty sure they would have invited other young stars like Vikram and Surya too....

Even if they try to imply it, I am sure that the the chances for Vijay are really bleak, especially when Vikram is ruling right now, and Surya comin up with one movie after another....Just my opinion though...

Good actors are only for selected people, good fan following is regardless of the peoples involved.

A center - liked KM, Sachein to a certain extend
B center - liked most of his hit movies
c Center - liked all his movies....even DEVA and stuff.....

so there you go....

I'm really wondering would Surya, Vikram and most of all AJITH would not attend the CM function if they were invited. You crazy? That's Rajni....if these guys can care about being in the pooja....why not success celebration????

`Jillunnu Oru Kaadhal.'
"That's quite enough for now I think," he says, during the launch of
the piano section at Musee Musical on Tuesday.

Does he see his music changing with new influences seeping
in? "Well, it changes with every film," says Rahman.

Recently, during the launch of `Mangal Pandey,' the music director
had announced his decision to stay away from period films. "For the
time being," he clarifies.

"It had become a pattern. There was an overflow of period films and
on the freedom struggle. So I thought I'll just move away a bit.
It's good to do all kinds of music," smiles the trend-setter. Would
he like to tell us about his plans for `Lord of the Rings'?

His tight-lipped demeanour seems to say: "No way." The musical is
expected to premiere in Toronto in March next year.

Shankar's mega team
- 22.10.2005
Cars come and go at Shankar's office in T Nagar. The story of 'Sivaji' is being created here. It is said that the gaps in screenplay and illogical situations in 'Anniyan' are a result of Shankar's earlier assistants not being around. Shankar has set that aspect right in 'Sivaji.'

JD-Jerry who used to be Shankar's assistants who directed 'Ullaasam' and 'Whistle' and are now busy directing ad films, are taking part in the story discussions. It won't be surprising if Shankar retains them till the film is completed.

Shankar's one time assistant, director Balaji Sakthivel of 'Kaadhal' fame, has also set aside his work to be with Shankar at work. Writer Sujatha is also present to give his inputs. He is to write the dialogues of 'Sivaji.'

The following team will work on 'Sivaji.'

Production - AVM Productions
Direction - Shankar
Hero - Rajini
Heroine - Shriya
Villain - Prakashraj
Music - A R Rehman
Dialogue - Sujatha
Camera - K V Anand

Shankar and Co are trying hard to create a story that will be like 'Basha' but should not resemble it in any way. In one line, the story is how about how a man who is zero in life, becomes a hero after vanquishing the ills in society.

A very suitable one line for a Rajini film!

A song, a few assistants and Sreya's tamil tutor!!

http://rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://sivajimovie.blogspot.com/2005/10/song-few-assistants-and-sreyas-tamil.html

1) Shankar felt that, the screenplay and logic mistakes in Anniyan was
mainly due to the absence of his some intelligent assistants who was
not in the part of the team. They were with him in Mudhalvan, Indian
and all. So, he now asked JD Jerry (twins), and Balaji Sakthivel of
(Samurai and Kaadhal) fame to be with him in Sivaji. And they are now
in the part of creative team.

Also, Shankar is very much particular that he won't repeat any of this
earlier mistakes. Regarding this, a separate notes has been given to
him, which listed all his earlier blunders and mistakes.

2) Sreya, doesn't know tamil. Shankar feels that if she knows somewhat
tamil, within the commencement of shoot, it will be helpful in getting
some acting talents from her(?!!). So, he has instructed her to learn
tamil and now sreya has hired a tamil tutor for her and learning tamil.

3) One song of Sivaji has been composed and it has been okayed by
Superstar with minor changes in lyric here and there. AR Rahman has
given a speedy touch to it.

4) And a million dollar question is "When is Pooja?" Many speculations
are running regarding this. One is that the pooja will be after
deepavali that is around November first weekend. And another one is
that One first week of Decemeber. But I am sure that, Superstar will be
celebrating his birthday on the sets of Sivaji only.

First scene of Sivaji!!

http://rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://sivajimovie.blogspot.com/2005/10/first-scene-of-sivaji.html

Here's some Sivaji news which came in media this evening.

1) Shankar, has recorded all the discussions of Sivaji creation
team, (which he had with his assistants) in a tape and has sent to
Sujatha to write the screen play.

2) According to the script, first scene of the Sivaji starts in a
prison. (Summa nacchunu irukka?)

3) Shankar has banned outgoing calls from the mobiles of his
assistants. Only important incoming calls can be attended. He has
also presented all of them a brand new bike and gave them a sweet
surprise.

Tail Piece:

Superstar, also consults with P Vasu regarding the script of Sivaji,
to add a few commercial elements. P Vasu is said to suggest a few
things. And that in turn, submitted to Shankar with final approval
from Superstar.

Note: All of the news said by me is just for information. And it
doesn't ensure commerial success or viability of a movie. I am very
much particular about the hype and I am maximum refrain from giving
some sort of news which may create hype. Finally, the story and
screenplay and it's presentation alone can give a super duper hit
like Chandramukhi. Let's expect the best.

I'm now awaiting njv's answer !
<end digression>
From: njv on Tue Oct 25 23:07:34 2005. [Full View]

<digression>
the answer lies in our "belief system". from our childhood our "belief" has been forced upon us. its either god exists/god doesnt exists, its either ghost exists/ghost doesnt exists. it starts from our ramayan/mahabharat stories to anniyan movie - where there exists a good guy and there exists a bad guy and good guy beat the bad guy.

there are people who breaks the belief system and wins. they are neither aethist nor believe in god. e.g is KH. there are people who obey "belief system" or doesnt even know the "belief system" like many of us here. so we just follow the system.

since the majority follows the belief system, if they find someone who doesnt follow, then they dont support them (again KH is example). this is the fact.

parents fear that by liking/following somone who breaks the belief system, their kid will also behave like them, so they dont want the kid to be influenced by the non belivers. how many parents take their kid to KH movie or movies by like minded people or even movies where they take a social subject and analyze. - very few.

parents are comfortable to let their child follow/like somone who believe in belief system, because they follow the general pool of people, so they wont get lost!

from the childhood they "inject" the belief system.

now take vijay for e.g. why would he need to put "viboothi", santhanam, kumgumam in all his movies. can he succeed with out them. definitely not. this is the success formula. 20 years back, rajni wasnt a believer in belief system, but now he is. in all his movies after dhalapathi he had all viboothi, kumkumam, santhanam or one or the other. exception is baba - this is the best movie to me ever where he analyzed the belief system and failed - because the mass doesnt want to hear anything other than what they believe.

Its hard to explain. i am not an aethist and I am also injected with "belief system" but sometime I break it - to express what I wanted to express. it put me in some difficult spot as well. once I proposed to some "top" govt official that the government should ban "milk abhishekam" - and instead give the milk to orphans - i was looked differently by the "top" guy differently afterwards, not to mention that he mentioned this to my father who thinks I am a nut.

can we abandon "milk abhishekam" in temples?

can we abandon killing of animals for the sake of god?

yes we can. when we can, people with talents will be appreciated more than people with out talents, because people will believe in different belief system by then.

It is said that Rajini after celebrating deepavali with his family, will leave to the Ayurvedic health centre at Kerela .The centre is well known for its oil treatment and Rajini has decided to go through this treatment to keep his body fit and healthy. It is an oil massage (Uzhichal) and linen oil squeeze massage (Pizichal) where the body gets rid of the fat and water content of the body and keep one fit. Rajini is more health conscious and before the shooting starts for Sivaji he wanted to be young and energetic and the Rajini Sreya pair would make a good go for Sivaji .

He has come back from the brink of death following kidney disease. He is at his zippy best for the preparation for Sivaji. He said that it will definitely be a blockbuster and that the first draft has been readied and sent to Shankar.

no mention of ARR/songs. IT says they had discussions in different places and recorded 3 hr of conversation. Sujatha completed the forst draft dialogues and two more draft has to go before final version. Rajni seems to call Sujatha and asked him how things are going. Per Sujatha, the story is new for Shankar and Rajni and Shankar told htis to before Anniyan it seems. It seems there are lot of "Punch" dialogue for Rajni. Some part of the story is happening in NY (interesting!, if you historically follow all rajni movies, he will simply follow kamal, in this case kamal's vv has some part of the story in NY!)

Expect a KS Ravikumar out of Shankar.

3. 25 years - not really. RK is getting this craze only after Thalapathi. b4, he wasnt that great. After Thalapathi, he used his political agenda to attract interest in his movie. There were seperate topic discussed on this and I am tired of it. I am not going to talk abt RK anymore. Waste of my time.

You are correct...However, you shud've added, that before dhalapathi, Rajni was busy remaking all the Amitabh movies

(some of the roles were better suited to Rajnikant than amitabh - The latest case in point being Baasha - Hum...AB looks like a spent-force and you know how great RK looked in Baasha.)

A R Rahman gives an indication of the music for Sivaji
October 31, 2005

A.R. Rahman had been away from Tamil cinema for about two years. Now, he is back and very busy in Kollywood and other non-film albums. He is working on a symphony titled Conference of Birds. He is also doing a song for poverty eradication. He hopes it will evoke the

huge feeling of sympathy like the patriotic fervor it kindled in Vande Mataram. In a recent function held at Bangalore, he had a chat with press persons and disclosed about his ongoing projects. He is currently working in superstar�s Sivaji, Godfather, Melliname and Dasavatharam. He promised that Sivaji�s songs will definitely be chartbusters and will satisfy Rajini fans.

Sujatha's writing is as fresh as ever November 4, 2005

Novelist Sujatha will be completing 25 years in the industry as a scriptwriter. The man who pioneered the science fiction and thriller genre in modern Tamil literature, is at ease with film writing as well.

His touch of humour is tongue-in-cheek. In his silver jubilee year, he is writing for the reigning superstar. He has promised that the dialogues for Rajini�s Sivaji will be the firebrand and crackling type. His fans can look forward to a feast. Ditto with music director, A.R. Rahman, who has also said that Sivaji will have some memorable tunes.

Super cinematographer for superstar�s Sivaji
November 11, 2005
Behindwoods.com

Sivaji has become the most important talking point in Kollywood these days. Every move by the film�s team is watched and reported with great alacrity. A.R. Rahman will be the music director and he has already started composing the score. He has assured that he would not let us down as it happened in Baba. The next piece of revelation is that the film�s camera work will be handled by ace cinematographer, K.V. Anand. Anand had already turned director with that beautiful film, Kana kandein. Then he went back to work in Rajkumar Santoshi�s Hindi film. No doubt he is excited, but as a senior technician he has assured that cinematography is largely dictated only by the script. He was himself a great fan of Rajini and he would definitely bring in the magic of his image within the dictates of the script. He also said that Bollywood was quite wide-eyed about the making of Sivaji.

Rumors rake �Sivaji�
By MIO Team
Nov 23, 2005, 08:50

Printer friendly page

No doubt, Superstar Rajnikanth�s magnum opus has been talked about since it took its first stepped. But now, a rumor has struck really hard on it. The news is doing round that it is a remake of a Malayalam film.

The grapevine is abuzz with the news that �Sivaji� is a remake of Malayalam film �Naaduvaazhigal� that shocked the people in 1980s. This Mohanlal film exposed the political corruption. Some people even quoted the example of �Chandramukhi�, where director Vasu and the Producer Prabhu claimed till the last hour that it�s not a remake of Malayalam film �Manichitrathazh�.

Some claimed that �Sivaji� is nothing but a remake of �Naaduvaazhigal� with more technology. However, it is unlikely that a big banner like AVM will indulge in remakes without obtaining the rights. But the commence of the film even before its take off has created more fuel to the rumors.

Now, another serious rumor has struck Rajnikanth�s film. Anyway, no one can hide the truth. It will come out for all to see very soon.

I have seen this Naduvazhikal. But against what said in the article it didnt focus much on polictal corruption and is basically a revenge drama shot in a pretty racy manner.

The story is something like Mohanlal's father is a retired smuggler boss. His main enemies are his late ex-partner's sons. They lock him up in jail with the help of corrupt politicians. At this point Mohanlal returns home from Bangalore where he was studying. Learning the current developments, he takes up the role of his father and starts fighting the enemies. He bails out his father, who later gets killed by the ex-partner's sons. How he avenges his death forms the rest of the story.

Naaduvazhikal was a pretty controlled work by Mohanlal. When in Bangalore with his friends, he behaves like an easy-going youth. But when he returns to Kerala, his body language becomes mature. But still he maintains the youthful charisma, till the climax. And when he sets out to avenge his father's death, you can see the anger and grief together in his face.

I am sure we are going to see none of the above in Rajani's Naaduvazhikal.

Rajini's 'Siivaji' - new information
There seems to be a low pressure hovering over Kodambakkam. The name :'Sivaji'!. Will it turn into a storm on December 1 or January 1? While Kodambakkam is agitated over this, here is the current status of 'Sivaji' for you!

New Year means just one day. Deepavali means just two days and
Pongal means three days. But 'Sivaji' means celebrations for one year! This is the objective of everybody from producer to
production boy. To justify that objective Shankar is reported to have built in gigantic things in his screenplay.

Every stage of progress in Sivaji will burst into '1000-walla'
crackers. As a first phase, they have done a huge photo session with Rajini in Mumbai. Those photos are intended to delight you.

Rajini's films will usually do the Puja at the temple in A.V.M. studio. The exception was 'Chandramuki'. Though the official launch of 'Chandramuki' was done at Shivaji's house, they also did a Puja at this temple. With the partition of AVM studies between the brothers, the temple went to the share of Mr.Saravanan's brother. So, Mr. Saravanan has now built a new temple in his portion. This is where 'Sivaji' is planned to be launched.

Rajini would like to appear totally 'fresh' in 'Sivaji'. That is why he has refused the offer for 'Aadhisesha' by his friend and actor Ravichandran. Not wanting to miss out A.R.Rahman's music like the way it happened for 'Anniyan', Shankar has already started discussions with him.
'Sivaji's Puja - December 1 or 5?

AVM's Ajith starrer 'Thirupathi' is being launched on December 5. So, some forecasters say that 'Sivaji' will not go on the floor on December 1 or 5 but only next year.

There is some similarity between tsunami and 'Sivaji'; No one knows when will it come and how will it come. There is only one difference. Tsunami kills. 'Sivaji' thrills!

Sivaji Pooja Held

The pooja of Rajnikanth�s Sivaji, directed by Shankar produced by AVM was held ina hush-hush manner today morning at 9.30 am in front of the new Pillayar Koil in AVM Studio.

There were only a handful of people who attended the pooja. Rajnikanth was very particular to make it a very low-key affair and even the press was not invited. It seems, he did not want fans to mob the venue and cause traffic jams and confusion on a working day and cause nuisance to public!

The shooting of Sivaji will start at the Ramoji Rao studio in Hyderabad anyday after December 12 (Rajni�s birthday). Shankar, Rajni and AVM are happy about the first draft of the story. Thotta Tharani is putting up a huge set and there will be tight security at the Ramoji Rao studio.

The shoot is planned is start with a song picturisation on Rajnikanth and Shriya tuned by A.R.Rahman. Rahman has tuned two songs and he was the notable absentee at the pooja as he was away in Canada on a private visit.

True or just a guess?
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, December 07, 2005]

Shankar�s films always stir curiosity.

Rajinikanth�s movies too always keep the conjectures flowing.

Naturally then when the duo has come together, the guessing game is even more pronounced.

Kollywood is agog with conjectures that Rajinikanth's Sivaji is an inspiration of a Malayalam movie titled Natu Vazhikal.

It is about an honest police officer father and his angry young son. The son embarks on a mission to avenge the killers of his father.

But there is no way of confirming the news.

Sivaji directed by Shankar for AVM Production is reportedly going to floors on 14 December at Hyderabad where a grand set has been erected.

Featuring Rajinikanth, Shreya, Vivek among others, Sivaji has musical score by A R Rehman and cinematography by K V Anand.

Meanwhile Rajinikanth had reportedly expressed his desire that the movie should not have any political dialogues.

A major portion of the movie would be shot in a grand set while a few songs in abroad.
The movie had a simple muhurat last week

Hello Friends,

Here is the article abt Shivaji today in Deccan Chronicle Pg35..(Dt. 9 Dec'05)

ITS OUT! THE CLOSELY GUARDED PLOT OF SHIVAJI

Rajni will appear in Seven different disguises

Contrary to the rumours that Rajni starrer Sivaji has been adapted from the Malyalam film Naduvazhigal, starring Mohan lal & Madhu, sources close to the director reveal the real story.
According to them, Rajni comes in seven different avtaars in the film. He returns from abroad with a mission to build a college which provides education at government college rates, without donations. He gets the support from the state ministry and he starts building the college. This irks the lobby controlling higher education. The ministry is voted out and new ministry comes in. They are backed by the anti lobby. Rajini is harassed and his project put on hold. He tries to take legal recourse but finally decides to adopt his own methods to checkmate them.

The tech savvy Shankar has opted for a corporate approach in selecting his assistants. He placed an ad which got him 2000 applicants. he then narrated the outline of his story to all of them and asked them to give it an ending. He chose 20 out of the 2000 as his associates for this film. Shankar had tackled the capitation issue in his earlier film Gentleman which was runaway hit. Apparently, he was inspired by a true incident where an ex-MP was allegedly murdered at the behest of college owner.

A topnotch Mumbai portfolio photographer has shot the promos and publicity stills with Rajini and Shriya at a special set erected at a Mumbai studio. The teasers and promos will be released during the making of the movie.

Mohanlal, Rajnikanth may unite for 'Sivaji'

Is Mohanlal playing a crucial role in Rajnikanth�s Sivaji directed by Shankar? Sources close to the actor confirms that Shankar and Rajnikanth had spoken to the actor about this �great role� in Sivaji, where he gets enough screen space with the superstar.

It seems that this role was originally meant for Amitabh Bachchan, a close friend of Rajni, who fell sick and is now not in a position to give dates as he has to complete his Bollywood assignments and KBC-2, which are his priorities.

And now this coveted role has gone to Mohanlal whom Shankar and Rajni rates as a �fantastic actor who has awesome screen presence and super-reach among the masses�. Rajni-Mohanlal combination is a casting coup and a win-win situation at the box-office.

Remember that two of Mohanlal films like Thenmavin Kombathu and Manichitrathazhu were remade by Rajnikanth as Muthu and Chandramukhi in Tamil. And there are rumours that Sivaji itself is a mixture of an old Mohanlal hit Naduvazhikal and the recent Natturajavu, though Shankar has denied it!

Meanwhile when contacted, Mohanlal who is off to US this Saturday (Dec 17) with buddy Priyadarshan for a 20-day holiday, neither denies nor is willing to confirm this news about his role in Sivaji. He is currently very busy with two films and the release of his latest film Tanmatra in Malayalam for Christmas.

`Sivaji` starts rolling!

By Moviebuzz
Wednesday, 14 December , 2005, 12:27

The shooting of Rajnikanth�s Shankar directed Sivaji produced by AVM, has started today (Dec 14) at the Ramoji Rao film city in Hyderabad.
A song written by Vairamuthu and tuned by A.R.Rahman will be picturised on Rajni and Shriya along with 150 dancers choreographed by Raju Sundaram.This song will take four days for completion.
Tight security has been clamped at the film city with AVM issuing swipe cards for entry into the floor where the song is being picturised. Not even a single still from the shoot will be issued to the media for the time being.

AVM has come out today with their first newspaper ad announcing the start of the shoot of Sivaji with a tagline -The boss. Rajni looks young and dashing in the still with coolers, a polo-necked blue T-shirt and a blazer.

Sivaji shooting gets underway December 15, 2005

Sivaji�s shooting commenced yesterday just as quietly as the formal launch. The first schedule will be held in Hyderabad. Superstar reached Hyderabad two days ago. Yesterday, he had a devout prayer before facing the camera. The first shot was a song sequence with him and the leading lady, Sreya.

Vairamuthu has written the songs and Rahman has composed some top notch tunes. Producers AVM Saravanan and M.S. Guhan besides Rajini�s long time friend and director SP Muthuraman were also present on the first day. The song is being shot in a gigantic set, true to director Shankar�s style. http://www.behindwoods.com/features/News/News39/15-12-05/rajini.html

More information is surfacing about Mohanlal�s role in the Tamil film �Shivaji�.

As reported earlier, Shankar and AVM, the film�s banner, had initially approached Amitabh Bachchan for the role. Due to ill-health, he had refused. Then AVM decided to speak to Mohanlal. The role in question is that of the villain.

Mohanlal reportedly doesn�t have any objections to playing the negative role. But he has put forth two conditions- 1. He�d accept the offer only if he is impressed with the story. 2. Tamil film require lengthy and bulk dates which he can't afford because he has lot of pending projects in Malayalam. So, they�ll have to keep the shooting schedule really short for him.

This will be the first time that Rajini and Mohanlal work together. Mohanlal will return from the US in another few days and will only then give his consent.

Rani Mukherjee in Sivaji??

Rajini and Shankar are working under the AVM banner for the film Sivaji. Shriya is pairing up with Rajini. Shooting has started off in Hyderabad and the song sequences are successfully being shot since the past three days. It is reported that Rani Mukherjee might be Rajini�s other pair. Rani had previously worked with Shankar in the Hindi version of Mudhalvan titled Nayak. Shankar seemed to have liked her acting very much. Apart from them, Amitabh was to work with Rajini for this film. Due to his health condition, he has been replaced with Mohanlal. Telugu actor Mohanbabu, and Shatrughan Sinha from Bollywood will also be acting in special roles.

�Sivaji� shooting at railway station

The �Sivaji� cyclone that started in Andhra has moved towards Chennai now.

Ever since Rajini had the pooja for his latest film, it is no surprise that one hears something new or other every now and then about the film. We have yet another news item for you.

The shooting for �Sivaji� started on December 14th at Ramojirao Film City and 11 days of shooting has taken place. The �Sivaji� unit that returned to Chennai yesterday has pitched a tent at the Central railway station. Since yesterday was a Sunday, there was no mobbing by the public and shooting took place peacefully.

Since it will be a little uncomfortable to arrive at the location and don the makeup, �Sivaji� was ready by 6am with makeup on. Rajini arrived in his car at Central station by 9am and in his coat and suit, looked at least 10 years younger. In this getup, he reminded one of the �Naan Sigappu Manidhan� Rajini.

The shooting started with Rajini entering the railway office with some files. Vivek and M S Bhaskar talk as they walk along with him. As soon as the shot was over, director Shankar gave the thumbs up sign!

There was tight security at the shooting spot. Only those with identity card were allowed inside.

Quality and success has always been on different path. Few exceptions are 70s and 80s IR and 90s ARR. YSR will rule the TFM for next decade to come, no doubt, but comparing him to JW etc is not acceptable. In JW forum they compared IR with JW and the argument was pretty intense, but if you put YSR in that, people will ignore the topic altogether.

YSR is easily lifting from various hollywood movies and except for few music critics who are "aware", for rest of them he will continue to be son of maestro.

This is ARR forum and you dont have to post yr crap here by degrading him and his counterparts under the title of his forthcoming project.

Feeding the poor, What for? Seriously

kalladi,

Were you or those (poor) partnered with sivaji prodns in funding the project. Or is there any written Indian law that they have to share certain % of profits to the poor people.

Where were you when baba bombed in the box office. Whose lose was it & did you took pain for their recovery? Didnt Rajni himself supported the producers on the right time. Its their personal wish either to donate or not from the profits. Original or remake is a non issue here. Every current releases/blockbusters are remakes. CM is commercially successfull & yes its a massive achievement. Thats it. Kudos to the team

(though it is a non-arr film VS as a MD).

I respect your opinion (that you hate ARR and Rajni), but why post it here in ARR forum.

ARR music is failing not because of the quality of the music, but because of serious virus spread by monsters like Srikanth Deva, Imaan, DSP etc. and specially because of crappy movies by these "innovative" directors like perarasu. When ARR came to the field, music was different from IR and IR "market" went down. Samething is happening for ARR also and will happen to YSR and everybody else soon.

'Sivaji' � Story, Get up: Hot News (Cinesouth)

Vairamuthu, who is known to be unperturbed by anything,
seemed to duck under with the words, "I can't open my mouth about 'Sivaji';
what a big team it has - Rajini, Shankar, A R Rehman, K V Anand and
Sujata." But we caught up with him and here are some hot news.

Action is the forte of Rajini films. Add to that a bit of thriller.
That is the one line recipe for 'Sivaji' taking shape under the
direction of Shankar. Rajini has donned the roles of the father and
son. A gang conspires to send the father, a well respected man of
integrity, to jail on false charges. This provokes Rajini, the son
who has been leading a jolly good life till then, to rise against
them. As Rajini investigates the evidence and demolishes them one
by one and unravels the case, the film takes a sudden turn. What
that turn is, is the message of 'Sivaji' to be told by Shankar.

Rajini storms through the film in several disguises to investigate
the evidence. What is interesting is that all these disguises are
taken over from the old Rajini's films. Mohanlal has agreed to
appear in an important role in this film. Hitherto, Shankar has shot
the song sequence of Rajini and Sriya and the episode in the Railway
office where Rajini appears in the 'Naan Sigappu Manidhan' get up.

But Rajini's and Shankar's style is to give the unexpected; we
hope 'Sivaji' will be better than what we narrated. In short, expect
the unexpected!
From: Guess_Me on Sun Jan 1 12:21:34 2006. [Full View]

If the story in the above article is true, then it is indeed a remake of malayalam film Naaduvazhikal. Only thing is Mohanlal didnt do a double role. I guess these days it is difficult to find a suitable father for Rajini.

Sivaji shooting at Pachaippas College, Chennai
January 02, 2006

Kodambakkam is abuzz with speculations that former Miss World Aishwarya Rai has given a 30-day call sheet for Sivaji. These speculations are not ill-founded. Getting a call sheet from Aishwarya Rai is not a big thing for Shankar. Was he not the man who introduced Ash to the tinsel town, after all? One diva who would be bothered about the developments is Shreya. Will not her role be dwarfed if Ash comes in? Some reports maintain that if Ash comes in, Shreya will be relegated to the second or third heroine status.
What about the Rajini-Shreya song that they have already shot? Well, they will convert to a dream sequence. Whatever it is, the heroines of Sivaji really keep the media on toes. Shreya, Rani Mukherjee and now, Aishwarya Rai � are they changing the story line too to accommodate these divas?

Before packing again to Hyderabad, the Sivaji team held a shoot sequence at Pachaiappas college in Chennai. To maintain secrecy, special permission was got from the college administration and the shoot was held in early morning hours � 3am to 6am. Superstar who is meant for his punctuality was there exactly at 3am. Some scenes related to him was taken inside the college campus.

latest about aish is that she declined to give call sheet, so rajini is desperately trying for a dance no. They offered 10 crore for 1 song sequence only and aish may come in for a dance seq.

As long as Rajni pay from "his" pocket (which I think he would!) AVM wont mind. The news is correct but 10 crore is for acting and if she dont have call sheet, atleast for a dance Rajni wanted aish in this movie. He must have seen Bunty Bunbly kajra re song recently and probably looking (dreaming) to kiss aish's hip.

Happy Birthday, A R Rahman!

By Moviebuzz
Friday, 06 January , 2006, 10:17

A.R Rahman is celebrating his birthday today. This year is a crucial one for him, especially because 2005 had seen him in diminished form, with hardly a chartbuster to his credit. Instead, he was concentrating more on his international assignments.
The two films he did in Hindi- Mangal Pandey - The Rising and Kisna bombed badly and the response to his only Tamil release Aa Aah was lukewarm, though it had a peppy number �Mayilazage..� .

Pretenders to his throne like Harris Jayaraj and Yuvan Shankar Raja ruled the charts. The trouble with Rahman's music was that it was not able to strike a chord with the Ringtone generation, which wants only funky sounds.

Critics also point out that he has lost touch with Tamil film music and today�s generation. However, this is not the truth as Rahman was the music director who had actually shaped the youth generation of the 90's. In reality, he was concentrating more on his Bombay Dreams and other international assignments, and had little time for Tamil projects that really made him what he is today!

In 2006, the maestro has decided to strike back with a vengeance in Tamil music scenario with a slew of biggies like Sivaji, Godfather, Dasavatharam, Jillendru Oru Kathal and Vikraman's new film. The A.R Rahman-Shankar team is the greatest combination in Tamil film music - a truly unbeatable pair!

The music in Sivaji promises to rock Kollywood, as all the five songs and the background score are being prepared with great care. After hearing the first song in Sivaji, which had a lot of Arabic sounds, Rajnikant was hugely impressed and told people close to him that Rahman has finally struck form.

We at Sify.com wish the maestro all the best on his birthday and hope that 2006 will be the year of A.R Rahman.

sivaji will rock

But ARR fans, I sincerely urge us to ask Rahman to STOP using BLAZEE in his albums, his raps sound so cheap compared to ARRs music.......Rahman shudnt employ cheap stuffs like blazee rap.. even YSR has better rap... Rahman has to have his signature..take pettai rap for eg.....

I heard Blazee has sung for Shivaji... If thats true, Im 10000000 % sure Shivaji audio will be a bigger debacle than the previous arr rajni combo.
Ever since Blazee teamed with rahman , rahmans peppy songs have been wasted by the blazee rap. his lyrics are so babyish, immature and BOOORING!

BLAZEE has to GO.... plss guys lets do something!

�Vaa,,,ji� �Va�ji� �Sivaji� - enjoyable Rajini�s song

Here is the full article

�Vaa...ji� �Va...ji� �Sivaji� - enjoyable Rajini�s song
Written by Vairamuthu and set to music by A R Rehman, this song
"Vaa� ji Va�ji Sivaji" has been shot. Shankar's song sequences are
so elaborate, one can make a low-budget film in that cost. `Sivaji' is
a Rajini starrer. Will he ever compromise? Shankar has gone to the
full extent of imagination employing novel concepts and shot the
sequence in a variety of costumes.

Shooting in the Ramoji Rao Film City, Shankar has shot the song
sequence during the first schedule. The shot captures Rajini in the
knee length warrior costume, coloured hair and the get up of the
King of Egypt �and Shreya as the queen.

Shankar has brought in some novelty in filming this song sequence.
Only on seeing Shreya's dance in the film `Mazhai,' Rajini chose her
as his co-star. Shreya, the dancer had to go through several takes
for this dance in `Sivaji.' "I am a good dancer. Yet, I become
nervous dancing with Rajini. That is why so many takes" Shreya
explains.

Song from Rajini's Sivaji

If what I came to know about the first song shot for �Sivaji� from here is correct, then this may be the song in Sivaji,

In Rang De Basanti,

Khalbali hai Khalbali.. (3)
Hain Khalbali

In Sivaji,

Va�ji Va�ji Sivaji.. (3)
Vaa Sivaji

I don't think Shankar would allow A.R.Rahman to use a song released in Hind for this movie but yet it is just a guess. Let us wait and see.

After a two week break, Shankar's Sivaji team is back into action, literally and figuratively, but this time in Chennai and not in Hyderabad.

AVM studio is abuzz with activity and a huge set has already been erected for a song shoot. Reports say that Shankar, acquiescing to request from FEFSI union, has made a change to his location. They would shoot in Chennai for that would generate employment to Kodambakkam technicians

Prashanth,

Can you explain in detail why wasnt Boys, AE (Music,songs) arent great. Do you agree with him that ARR hasnt provided any best in the past 5 years?

IMO, ARR has to blame himself for the high standards(Box Office Movie Success ) he has fixed himself. Just imagine, how would it had been if HJ/YSR has come with an album like BOYS or AE. Recent hits like A_A,Anniyan,CM are just dud's when compared to his trend-setters like Boys, AE,KKS or even AhAah.

Dorai reframe it as below which is more appropriate and a genuine claim.

Shankar goes location hunting!

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 06 February , 2006, 16:17

Shankar, producer M.S.Guhan of AVM, cameraman K.V.Anand and six
other team members involved with Sivaji are on a tour of US and
Canada on a "location hunting" for song picturisation.
They are expected to be back in Chennai by February 20 after
this "mini tour of the western hemisphere". Two of the five songs
tuned by A.R.Rahman will be picturised in exotic foreign locales in
winter though our superstar is not too comfortable with his sinus
problem that causes discomfort during extreme cold.

Rahman has been shuttling between Chennai and Toronto where he is
composing the score of the most expensive $ 26 million musical
extravaganzaThe Lord of the Rings, a stage show which premiers in
Toronto by March end.

Meanwhile Shankar (who loves Canada and its landscapes) will discuss
the remaining songs with Rahman. Once the unit returns, they will
finalise the locales and go back to shoot the songs probably by
March end after the weather improves.

Prasanth,

I have seen enough criticism against ARR for his albums like parasuram, udhaya, baba, kadhal virus, E20U18 (past 2000 releases) on his acceptance of such dud films is quite acceptable when compared to his hindi & intl ventures(Meenaxi,Bose,Swades,Lagaan,TOBS, WOHE...). I would rank E20U18 & Udhaya, Baba as good for few songs but not GREAT. Whereas Boys, KKS or AE are truly masterpieces with its youthful (Boys), stunning romantic melodies (KKS) & technos (fanaah),folkish song (AE). If you need I can post several reivews which proves (technically) those are GREAT albums.

I would have appreciated if you could post some technical flaws to disprove the greatness of the above said albums rather providing objective advices... DUET's Mettu podu is truly awesome and I alwayss make it sure that I listen to these GEMS frequently.

P.S: Baba's kichu thaa has become one of my all-time fav when i heard it in the hindi version of SWADES/DESAM. Tamil version sucks bcoz of the lyrics. I have also read that there were diff guitars (8 ) used in that song and the use of TT ball pitching is brilliant enough. Can anyone think of such experimenting in a romantic duet or even attempt when you are parallely woking with other hindi & intl albums?

Read the following blog which shows how ARR experiments & I am proud to be his fan who has the guts to do it really worth most of the time

I have seen enough criticism against ARR for his albums like parasuram, udhaya, baba, kadhal virus, E20U18 Huh?!

(past 2000 releases) on his acceptance of such dud films is quite acceptable when compared to his hindi & intl ventures(Meenaxi,Bose,Swades,Lagaan,TOBS, WOHE...). I would rank E20U18 & Udhaya, Baba as good for few songs but not GREAT. Whereas Boys, KKS or AE are truly masterpieces with its youthful (Boys), stunning romantic melodies (KKS) & technos (fanaah),folkish song (AE). If you need I can post several reivews which proves (technically) those are GREAT albums.

I would have appreciated if you could post some technical flaws to disprove the greatness of the above said albums rather providing objective advices... DUET's Mettu podu is truly awesome and I alwayss make it sure that I listen to these GEMS frequently.

P.S: Baba's kichu thaa has become one of my all-time fav when i heard it in the hindi version of SWADES/DESAM. Tamil version sucks bcoz of the lyrics. I have also read that there were diff guitars (8 Rolling Eyes

) used in that song and the use of TT ball pitching is brilliant enough. Can anyone think of such experimenting in a romantic duet or even attempt when you are parallely woking with other hindi & intl albums?

Read the following blog which shows how ARR experiments & I am proud to be his fan who has the guts to do it really worth most of the time Thumbs Up!

Lancelot,

I am yet to see a good album from ARR after Allaipayuthe and Kandu Kondaen Kandu Kondaen. That was in 2001 if I am not mistaken.

So,that's why I said, ARR has forgot his music 5 years back. Making one or two good songs in 5 years does not prove that you are in good form/class.

He sounds too ordinary. Even HJ, Yuvan, VS sound much much better. Compare Baba to Chandramughi, VS comes out better on all counts (songs, background). Even Padaiyappa had some mediocre songs except Minsarapuve.

ARR songs may occasionaly touch my ears, but fail to touch my heart anymore.

Good music should touch your heart and not just yr ears.

"Technical flaws"? Come on!

I think this has gotten too far out of hand. I'm not trying to argue about the merit of those specific albums. I'm just stating my own personal opinion, and sadly I don't conider Boys to a "masterpiece". I only call very few things "masterpieces" or say they have greatness or whatever. Maybe your perception of that word is more lenient. Just like I consider Duet to be a great album, I consider Boys to be not as good, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good album.

In the end, this is all about opinion. I've listened to lots of tfm and I guess I just don't throw words like masterpiece or greatness around too much except when I think it is deserved.

Alaipayuthey & Kandukondain2 was released in 2000...

ps : i would have respected u if u just said his music for past 5 years was normal,but u said harris & yuvan sounds better .. hj is doing nothing by copy & paste ARR's music from the past 14 years ... not leaving ARR's music even which was released 5 years back.... ripping sonnalum,en uyir tozhiye etc etc...

speaking bout chandramuki...its one of Rajini's bad score i have heard so far...come on.... Dippu Dippu had better music & lyrics !infact Devuda had Dippu Dippu's flavour [punjabi bhangra beat] + Muthu's Oruvan's prelude....which i belive Dipu Dipu was the 1st Rajini intro which had a bhangra feel! if copy & paste songs what impresses ur heart.. plz say ARR's music is boring to u.... its an honour !!!

Prasanth,

Ofcourse you are entitled to your opinions and noone is denying it. But posting some allegations in a Musical forum of ARR's himself to whom the forum is dedicated needs some solid evidences for others to agree.

I aint throwing or boasting any of the albums as MASTERPIECE w/o any substantiation. I can post it from ARR YG or unbiased veteran bloggers. If you need album wise or songwise, pls do not hesistate to click.. I am always here to take the pain to explore it.

Boys in short-

- Listen to it from the point of view of the right audience and it is as ]innovative as his original work.
- Use of electric guitar in Secret of success only bolsters ourbeliefs that ARR makes good music in any genre. Oh and there is this great melody too, most noticeable mid way.
- Ale Ale - absolutely fantastic instrumentation and a great soothing melody, I really dont understand why anyone would consider ARR a flopafter listening to this. And the way he is interlacing male and female vocals throughout the song is unheard of. provides fantastic effect, something i could not have imagined prior to listening to it.

Kindly read this one as well...(A MUST READ)ARR&MUSIC! (a possible answer to spiteful badmouthing of ARR)

E20U18 review by swaps:
http://tfmpage.com/forum/8382.arr_reviews.html

I even liked E20U18 since the genre is such that most of the songs is like interacting bet the hero & the heroine (chorus support) done in a very innovative way. Asathura, Ling dinga, Askava...

ENOUGH DIGRESSION: Pls continue with Shivaji & ARR
From: MADDY on Thu Feb 9 10:48:47 2006. [Full View]

Adding to Scale's excellent observation, Boys is really special because ARR took fusion to a different level like
Girlfriend song where there was fusion of clubhouse,rock and boy-band genres, which is path breaking in my view,

Ale ale was a song where i'm still confused whether it is a Tamil folk or Punjabi folk song or it is some other genre, such is the precision of fusion work by the genius,

and i could go on, but i wanna hold it rite here.........see prashanth, if u dont like it then it is ur view i guess and i respect it, but dont try to generalise it.......ARR ,hardly is careless about his music so we dont normally expect a bad album from him.........all his albums have a purpose....

KKS was one of ARR's Best in the recent times...

The sweet melody "Cindrella" many like en uyir thozhi.,... but my personal fav is cindrella....

I do accept that parasuram udhaya and baba (except kicchi kichu thaa and sakthi kodu?) were not good... (will not say it is bad )

Please dont comment on CM... the most hyped songs Raa Raa and Kokku para Paraa; i neednt tell u the origin right..,..

If ARR has been so so good. Why did Shankar go to HJ?

HJ to me rates way better than ARR. What do you mean by cut and paste. ARR does that a lottttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. He copies tunes left and right from old songs (e.g., Roja Roja from a Hindi song in Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu). People got captivated in his fresh approach in 92. As I said, at that time it touched peoples ears and not hearts (barring a few songs, I can provide you a list). Within 10 years he sounded repititive and boring. That's because his fundamentals were not right. Here are some songs that really touched my heart

1) Uyire Uyire
2) Puthu Vellai Mazhai
3) Anbe.. Anbe (although copied from a western beat)
4) Dilse Re (from Dilse)
5) Malargale Malargale
4) Naan Paadum Sandham
5) Nila Kaigirath
6) Nara Mughaye
7) Thee Thee,
8) Fanaah - The only one since 2000
9) Pachai Nirame
10) Kannamuchi Yennada
11) Yenge Yenadhu Kavidhai
12) Kandukondean KanduKondean
May be a handful more...

Regardinng Dipu Dipu Vs Devuda, I do not want to argue. Both songs sound mediocre and rubbish. I do not see any greatness in them.

But Ra Ra and Kuku Para Para sound okay to me and the entire tamil population received them very well. Baba songs were not received that well. Common, Baba Kichu Kichu tha...sounds like a nursery rhyme. Call it great...something wrong.

Further the problem with ARR these days is that I am not captivated to listen the whole song for some reason. Even Mayil Irage song, the pallavi sounds nice but I soon switch to the next song. The credit goes to SJ Surya for good picturization. Else, the song would have been another mediocre from ARR.

I cannot stand any of ARR songs from E18U20. I tried. Sorry. So is the case with Ayutha Ezhuthu (except Fannah).

FYI, I had interviewed Bhardwaj in Dec 2004 and he volunterly said that ARR is at his worst these days. Doesn't mean much, but same minds think alike.

Doraip this is your opinion and it's your problem if A.R.Rahman's songs didn't touch your heart.
But for me (and I hope for many others too) A.R.Rahman's music has not lost any of it's quality. It's getting better and better because ARR tries to use new instruments and musics from other cultures (Arabic). So if you don't like his music listen to Harris Jeyaraj and Bharadhwaj.
Sorry but I think you don't have a good taste for good music.

The problem is, you shouldn't have to make yourself pretend to be another person in order to get the most out of music. A real "masterpiee" works for every listener. I'm not denying Boys was innovative in a way, or whatever, just that I carry a certain meaning to words like greatness or masterpiece.

My opinion is that these words are just thrown around too often. Is Boys really the pinnacle of musical achievement? What about ARRs better music albums? What do you call them?

From: prashanth12 on Thu Feb 9 22:45:24 2006.

Though there is a differnce, which is that your statement seems intentionally provocative and insulting. If you had said something like, "I think Hey Ram is a poor album, even though everyone else likes it", it would seem a bit better. But I'm not coming to ARR boards to provoke, I'm coming cause I'm an ARR fan! The only real problem I had here was concerning usage of these desccriptive terms like those used above, not with the actual music itself. Though I guess you could interpret it that way.

But just note the only thing I ever said about Boys was that it wasn't a masterpiece, but you've interpret it to mean I don't think it's a good album. I think we need to think about our preconceptions. Maybe MD wars has made everyone jumpy about any form of criticism.

Is there really a need to bash Vidyasagar in order to defend ARR?
From: Music4Ever on Fri Feb 10 14:21:04 2006. [Full View]

"Is there really a need to bash Vidyasagar in order to defend ARR?"

In principle no. In practice, though, it becomes necessary, since someone said Chandramukhi was better than ARR's Baba songs and perhaps several others composed since 2000. Until I came to know that Ra Ra is an adaptation from Apthamitra I thought VS has done a very good job (even if Ra Ra resembles IR classic Saagara sangamam at places). I love Kokku para para song too very much, but this may also be partly due to watching the movie and the entertaining situation when this song is sung. The Athindhom number is a direct lift from MalayaLam, while the other songs are VS's usual fare. In fact, a case can be made that Devuda Devuda is simply "Koduva meesa aruva paarva" with suitable alterations. AnnaNoda paatu is lively in the movie but it is another standard dappanguthu (although I love that also). That leaves us with "konja neram konja neram", which no doubt is a lovely melody. All songs became super hits because the movie was a mega hit. Otherwise the songs would have sunk without a trace. Seen in this light it is unfair to compare with Baba, which also had its fair share of tripe from ARR but which would have been hits if the movie had not bombed. At least ARR does not lift so blatantly like VS and also brings in innovations.

As a parting shot, just let VS compose one song of the quality seen in a relative nonentity like Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha and then we can discuss more. Man, what songs (3 in number) by ARR in that movie.

Is Shankar fuming at Aishwarya Rai? February 13, 2006

It looks like Director Shankar is really cross with Aishwarya Rai. When he invited her to play a role in Sivaji, the former Miss World said she had no call sheets. However, the diva is, now, ready to sign up a Manirathnam movie. That is because Abishek is the lead man in the flick. Is anything cooking between Abishek and Ash? Well, the rumour has it that the marriage talks are going on between the two families. Reports say Ash is aware of how she might hurt Shankar�s feelings along with Rajini�s, with this move of hers and that she is now doing a rethink on taking up Shankar�s offer. However, Shankar�s camp says that he will not sign up the diva. Enough is enough is the attitude you see on Shankar�s face.

I think he is the closest one can get to being the perfect singer.

And dinesh, u dont have to be apprehensive abt SPB singing 3 songs for ARR. he has been singing all the songs in an album all these years. remember wat he did to a song like "chakkara inikkira"(i think only ARR gave SPB such different songs, which other MDs wud have thot as blasphemous). moreover SPB illama rajini illai, TMS illama MGR illai. ppl wont accept.

yes...true...SPB has done magic for 80s songs...i def agree...u guys dun get my point...i myself loved most SPB-ARR...but im seeing in a diff point....SPB-ARR-Shankar.... when i look up to Shankar-ARR,i expect something FRESH & NEW... SPB-ARR-Rajini is something common.... i liked the way Shankar Mahadevan sung for Rajini in BABA,it was somthing new...though his HCFs seem to like the same thing over & over...devuda is 1 of Rajini's weakess song if u ask me....eventhough it had SPB....

It is not so much SPB and ARR-Shankar, as much as SPB-Rajni. I still have nightmares of Baba's intro song. Granted, CM's intro song wasn't as great as it could have been, but SPB's voice made it pretty good, as well as the Athithom song. I find that when I look at my most favourite songs, coincidentally they are all sung by SPB

Musical Fight Scene in Sivaji
http://www.cinesouth.com/masala/hotnews/new/06032006-2.shtml

The budget for �Sivaji� is an unimaginable amount, not seen till now. According to the story, the heroine Shriya works in a shop selling music instruments. Shankar has shot a fight scene in this shop, where Rajini bashes stunt master Kanal Kannan who has dyed his hair in multi-colored hues. The musical instruments raise tunes according to the way he is thrashed. This musical fight scene is directed by stunt master Peter Hein.

�Peter Hein is my student. He has acted in many fight scenes that I have composed. This time, I am following his directions,� says Kanal Kannan enthusiastically as he strokes his multi-colored hair!

Even if most of �Sivaji� is shot, the film will be released only after a few more months.

Raju Sundaram to direct film that Rajini liked
- 10.03.2006
A few weeks before the shooting of 'Sivaji' started, the Kannada film most in the news was 'Jogi.' There was an idea of casting Rajini in its Tamil re-make.

It is a known fact that Rajini's 'Chandramukhi' is inspired by the Kannada 'Aapthamitra.' When Rajini saw the film 'Jogi' and spoke well of the film, some Kodambakkam sources immediately spread the word that its re-make could be Rajini's next film.

But like one develops a craze for something sweet, there is a craze for those who have seen Rajini's films. Why else would Kayaar, who took on no film production after 'Dancer,' buy the Tamil rights of 'Jogi'? Kayaar has also found a new director to direct this Tamil re-make.

It is none other than dance master Raju Sundaram. When younger brother Prabhu Deva became an actor, he also became an actor. Now Prabhu Deva is a director in Telugu and he is also to become a director in June. Will Raju Sundaram be as successful as his younger brother Prabhu Deva? It somehow looks like war to us because 'Jogi' has created a record.

The film has already run for 250 days and is still going strong. The profit from music sales alone is 4 crores! Why is Kayaar still looking at the golden egg and the goose?

Raju Sundaram who is to tend to the goose, is busy in the shooting of 'Sivaji.' When that is over, he will start work in June on 'Jogi.'

We wonder if Raju Sundaram ask tips from his brother!

http://www.cinesouth.com/masala/hotnews/new/10032006-3.shtml

* Jogi has good scores...i loved 1 song allot - Ello Jogappa by Sunitha & Shankar mahadevan.its a very catchy song,i hope the songs get dubbed in tamil instead of a clone type like apthamitra - chandramuki ...

Vijay Yesudas to sing for Rajini in Sivaji March 15, 2006

After crooning behind the mike for more than four decades, the honey-voiced K.J. Yesudas, has planned to act in a film. Titled Koormam, he has penned the story and a lot of newcomers are in the lead cast. K.R. Ramadas would be the director. Yesudas� role is held under wraps but the story would revolve around the prevailing system of corruption and political manipulations.
As senior gets ready for a new avatar, junior is scaling a milestone in his fledgling career. Yes�we are talking about Vijay Yesudas. Son of K J Yesudas. Vijay Jesudas is going to sing in Sivaji for Superstar. Davani potta Deepavali in Sanda Kozhi sung by Vijay had impressed Superstar very much.

He liked the song and requested AR Rahman to rope him in. Vijay is excited about singing under AR Rahman�s and that too for Superstar. Many of his father�s songs for Rajini are evergreen hits. All the best, mate!

I liked 3/5 songs in VV.Would I watch it just on the basis of songs if Kamal was not there&Gautham was not directing it, No

Assuming I am not a Kamal fan,will I watch it after listening to the songs,Yes becos along with the trailor/stills,a level of interest has been created.

IMO,if these 'Shivaji'stills were given out by AVM,then it's pathetic marketing.I mean what interest are they trying to create by giving out stills of Rajni in a Tee,jacket&capri doling out a rose to Shriya.Is this a love story or what???Where's the punch yaar?

Well, here's a super insider news. Rajni is donning dual role in this movie! A younger Rajni is what is shown in these stills. The actual macho-looking (The Boss) is another Rajni. Named, of course as SIVAJI! A good hearted tycoon to the public and a ruthless underworld police. He uses his power of money and good image to swipe out the dons. If it doesn't work he gets into action and clean it up himself. This is where the younger Rajni gets into trouble. For mistaken identity.

Hello all,
Remember me?
I Came up with the news about songs of Baba & Chandramukhi long before the songs were released. Now I would like to give you asong that I heard from Shivaji. Three songs have been recorded so far. Rajni's intro song is different this time. It is going to be a kind of Rap.

The song that I heard goes like this. It is a duet.

" Poovaambaai...
aambal aambal.

Punnagayo
mavval mavval. "

The tune was mindblowing guys. I think some new voice. But this song, I am sure is going to rock TFM for a long time like narumugaye did. Not much of Rajni in the song.

My friend had heard the Rap song and she told me that it was very catchy. The song happens as a welcome song for Rajni when he returns from America.

There is another melody in the movie by Unni Krishnan. Will try to get some info about that and get back to you later.

From: Nandini (@ 203.195.180.55) on: Wed Jun 26 09:26:49 EDT 2002

ARR has used the "hey ... hey ..." chorus that one which comes in baatcha as the opening for the opening song in baba.

the opening song goes like with this meaning.
life is like a 3 hr movie it has 3 stages and what each stage is all about the concept was given by baba himself and he asked ARR to give something like raakkammaa kaiiaththattu in thalapathy.

"tippu tippu tippu tippu sundhari" is how the song begins.

and one more news.
this "sarakku vechirukEn" lawrence was called to choreograph "maayaa maayaa... chaayaa chaayaa " song. he was totally confused by the tune and said there is no place for dance movement in the tune.

prabhu deva choreographs one song and brindhaa one. there are 3 dance numbers it seems.

for the shooting of "sakthi koadu" a big temple was set up with oily pillairs and rajni with blood on face sings to kaaLi(not sure about this)
"Eniyaaga naanirundhu
Emaara maatEn
uppitta thamizh mannai
Emaatra maattEn"
how he sings.

apart from these VM or Vaali, planning a big show in sun tv on baba songs. that will be a week before the audio release. baba has green signalled for the program. that wud be a gud news for tfm fans.

i think this is more for the week.

Can you capture a tornado in a suitcase? It is possible. This
wonder has taken place at the ladies' hostel in Adyar, Chennai.
Thota Tharani's craft has changed the Ladies' Hostel into a police
station. This is where they have lodged the captured tornado!

Rajini in `Sivaji' falls in love with Shriya. Every star will have
his own style in informing this to his love. But the Superstar's
style is in informing this to the parents of his love. He tells
Shriya's father and mother Uma Padmanabhan about his intention of
get married to Shreya. Father Raja explodes. Rajini's friend Vivek
turns into a jackal in this marriage proposal scene that blends
seriousness and comedy. Finally the marriage proposal ends up in a
melee and the police lodge Rajini in a lock up. For someone who is
always ready for a fight, since the matter concerns love, Rajini
remains calm in the cell. Rajini's father Manivannan comes to
release him on bail. After the police lock up, the love between
Rajini and Shriya becomes stronger. Vadivukarasi acts as Rajini's
mother. Livingstone appearing as police inspector excels in comedy.

The film crew says that Rajini has reached new height as Cupid in
love sequences and as Arjuna in fight sequences. Expectations are
rising as we listen to such stories. When is the release of the
film, Shankar?

This is just my guess with the tiny Tamil knowledge that I have.

"poovaambai" is a way of addressing a girl
"aambal" means wine i guess

"mavval" is a flower.

must be same trick that was used in narumugaye.
using sangam literature words to attract attention.

rest of the song is in normal Tamil.
the final lines of the stanza goes...
" nee azhagiyar mayangum azhagiyadi
pala kavingargal karpanai thavidubodi "

yeah...
you cannot imagine things without rajni influence in a rajni movie.
fans wud burn your effigies.

the female voice in the song keeps repeating
"vaaji vaaji vaaji, en jeevan shivaji"

the rap song is going to rock the charts.
that one is totally rajni stuff.

Just 3 songs recorded so far.
No theme song so far.

Will get back with you guys if I get any more updates.

Thanks for trusting me finally.

dont have high hopes on shivaji from Shankar's ability... I think he has run out of steam and relies only on his reputation like soo many other directors who are not willing to let go.... Shankar.. thinks clever but for how long can he grind the same stuff ... He is obsessed with grand scale of things.. gentleman and mudalvan to an extent are the few good movies to mention .. other than that .. I really have to think hard...

speaking of his movies with a social cause.. 'Thambi' for me conveyed more emotions of a social cause than all his movies put together..... you dont need a mega budget to convey a social message.. I think Shivaji will make him or break him.... Rajni factor will bail him out this time.. but next time??
digression : Btw .. watched 'Chitram pesuthadi ' yesterday .. I can safely comment its the best BGM i have heard this year or even last year...that includes the movies of the Maestros as well... great job by sundar... compelling watch ...

introducing MPD concept alone .. doesnt necessarily mean that shakar is full of ideas.. Shankar is a very creative director..Look what he did to gentleman .. and then kadhalan.. the strength of these movies is shankar..
like RGV getting stuck with underworld movies .. shankar is becoming slotted.. can he come out of it and give a movie other than corruption and social empathy??.. he tried to do things diff in BOYZ... but alas the thrashing (deservedly) he recieved from all sides.. he went back to his tried and tested formula... this time with MPD but that doesnt mean creativity...
take mudhalvan for ex.. . he thought aloud of how one man can change a system and provided a grippy narrative...
I am only worried that in his quest for grandiosity shakar is loosing what made him a 'grand' director...
as said said earlier.. directors like Miskin.(boy this guy was smashing in CP).ameer..selva..murugadas..bala..lingu... hold a lot of promise.. lets see if they would take tfm to the next level..

Is there any serious message he gave through Mudhalvan or Anniyan or any other movie of shankar?!

I dont think so. NOBODY bought his MESSAGE even if he was selling one. His message has always been a SILLY one. Not many cares about his message.

His strength is his courage to go for a mega budget entertainment.

How many people can take such a risk?!

I really appreciate his courage to work with Rajni at this age of Rajni. I was astonished to know that AVM is willing to work with Shankar in a Rajni project!

If Shankar is really smart, all he needs to do is, come up with a movie like "ulagam suttrum vaaliban" or "priya" or "ninaithaale inikkum" or "dharmayudhdham" by nicely using the charishma of Rajni!

Just a movie which entertains everybody with great songs and great settings with a worthless message.

It is not impossible for him to do that if he really understands the strength and weakness of Rajni! I think he does know that!

Prabhudeva, the much-acclaimed dance choreographer, is all set to choreograph a song sequence for the mega-budget 'Shivaji'!

Though he had quit dance choreography a long time ago and had established himself successfully as a director, Prabhudeva still continues to be known all over the country for his fabulous dance skills.

He had recently composed a dance sequence for a Hritik Roshan film but it has been really a long time now since he composed anything in either Tamil or Telugu. This time, he has agreed to direct a song sequence at the behest of Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth and director Shankar.

The song sequence is going to be shot abroad.

On his return from holidays from abroad, Prabhudeva will start story-discussion sessions for the film that would launch Megastar Chiranjeevi's son.

One more information about 'Shivaji'- Contrary to popular rumors, there will be NO second heroine. Shriya is the sole heroine of the film.

History of sorts?

By Moviebuzz | Friday, 28 April , 2006, 13:49

Shriya Saran has created history by becoming the first actor in the country to be paired with father-in-law (Rajnikanth) and son-in-law (Dhanush) simultaneously!
The films are Sivaji and Tiruvilayadal. Says director Bhoopati Pandian of Tiruvilayadal: �I had signed Shriya before the release of her Mazhai, much before Sivaji was conceived! But she went ahead and did Sivaji for which work started immediately. As Dhanush was busy with Puthupettai, the shooting for Tiruvilayadal was delayed. Now that Sivaji is almost complete , Shriya is all set to act opposite Dhanush�.

This has put an end to rumours that Shriya had opted out of Tiruvilayadal after she gave Sivaji her priority dates.

http://www.rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://sivajimovie.blogspot.com/2006/05/3-out-of-6-songs-for-sivaji-is.html

A.R.Rehman arrived well after the function of Sakkarakatti pooja. Many were surprised by the presence of A.R.Rehman who is known to avoid participating in puja functions. As it was expected that he will congratulate the producer and the actor and will take leave, he surprised everyone by sitting among the press persons with a happy smile.

As the reporters took slots to ask questions, he brushed his fully shorn head and answered.

I have done 75 films in several languages. In the midst of providing music to films, preparation of music album is also being done. Recording for 3 out of 6 songs for Sivaji is completed. Work is being done for the other 3 songs.

Tamil audiences have great expectations on my music. I will certainly fulfill those expectations. That is why I intend to do only big budget films by big producers.

"Sivaji is 50% complete" says Shankar

At a recent press conference, director Shankar, after a lot of persuasion, let out few details about his much hyped bilingual (Tamil �Telugu) Rajini starrer Sivaji. According to him Sivaji would definitely be a milestone film in superstar Rajini's career.

When asked about Rajini�s fresh and plump look he said, �I had asked him to put on some weight for the role and he is also on a special diet which gives him that glow on his face.� He also said there are five songs in the film � three have already been composed by A.R. Rahman, and two of them have been shot in Hyderabad and Chennai.

The unit will be leaving for Europe for the third song. Replying to a query on how Shriya and Rajini are as a pair, Shankar said, �They look very good as a couple, because I have projected a never-seen-before youthful and different Rajini.�

Will the film be ready by Diwali? �About 50 per cent of the film is complete and I hope to release it this Diwali, but I want it to be perfect, even if it takes longer.� Sources close to the film unit say that there is an introductory song in a typically Rajini style but this time instead of his lucky mascot S.P. Balasubramaniyam, Hariharan has sung the song.

Rajini in Spain and Japan

For several scenes attractive sets have been raised and several stills with Rajini standing in his stylish poses have been canned. As for songs, a couple have been shot in Spain. There are also rumors that at least one song would be shot in Japan, where Rajini has a big legion of fans. For one song, the director has asked Rahman to rework the tune. All the songs would be chart toppers, it is sure.

The unique thing about Sivaji is that all the people involved in the film are the creamiest talent in the industry. Rajini always has a soft corner for talented directors, irrespective of the age. Shankar is an established director and has a unique style of screenplay. Nevertheless, he has been constantly discussing the script with Rajini so as to ensure that it matches the expectations of the fans. Sujatha is a talented writer and we expect sparks to fly. Vivek�s own brand of comedy is sure to tickle the funny bones. Shreya the young heroine has already shown that she is capable of good performance. Opposite the superstar, her acting should definitely be par excellence.

As we wait like millions of other fans across the globe, we are sure thalaivar would come up with another bull�s eye offering. Good luck, man!

Rounded Rajini in �Sivaji�!
Gone are the gaunt cheeks and thin frame. One can now see a rounded
Rajini! In `Sivaji,' Rajini acts in a series of get-ups. Credit has
to go to Shankar that he has more or less brought back the young
Rajini in this film. Gone are the sallow cheeks and thin body �
Rajini has put on weight! The `Sivaji' unit is thrilled that this
has reduced 20 years from his appearance!

To achieve the young look, Shankar has fed Rajini with some choice
foods. The changed menu that includes nutritious food without fat is
what Rajini has been having the last few months. Even though
Rajini's appearance was talked about after he came out of the voting
booth, the unit members say it's an entirely different look that
becomes very evident after he wears his wig and becomes Sivaji.

Out of the 5 songs in `Sivaji,' A R Rehman has already composed 3
songs. This slow pace is because Rajini has instructed Rehman to
take his time, but the songs should be real good. Two of the
songs `vaa vaa Sivaji' and `sahara pookkal poothadhu' have already
been picturised. It is usual for SPB to sing the opening song of
Rajini's film. In `Sivaji,' this has been broken and the song is
sung by Hariharan.

Almost 40% of `Sivaji' has been shot. Shankar is trying for a Diwali
release. He also says that much time is required for the film to
progress well. Does that mean one can expect to see `Sivaji' only in
2007?!

Sivaji goes to Spain!

Shankar and his team are leaving for Spain to shoot a song at exotic locations there. AVM�s Sivaji is the biggest movie of 2006 and A.R.Rahman�s music is said to be the major highlight of this entertainer.
All the songs in the film are said to be fast peppy numbers that may turn out to be chartbusters. This song in Spain will be picturised on Rajnikanth, Shreya and 20 dancers from London. It is choreographed by Prabhu Deva and cameraman K.V.Anand will be shooting it.

Spain Naathil 'Sivaji' Paadhal

Very Happy

Here it goes Dinesh,

If its a Rajini film then the first song would be recorded by SPB. This has been the trend so far. This includes Annamali, Arunachalma, Padayappa, Baba and Chandramukhi. For sivaji who has sung the first song is not still clear, but 3 songs have been recorded by 'Isai Puyal' A R Rahman.

For Sivaji Hariharan has recorded one song out of the 3. Is this the 1st song? It is not clear, but what is clear is that Shankar has planned to film 2 out of the 3 songs in Spain.

25 dancers from a famous 'Ballet' group in london are expected to dance for this song along with Rajini and Shreya.

Prabudheva is to Choreograph these songs while K.V Anand handles the camera. Both are expected to leave on 18th MAy for Spain.

Rajini, Sreya and Shankar will leave on 20th to Spain where they will spend about 1 week filming the song and will return this month end.

I just want a different kind of movie in terms of the plot and screenplay, and not just a masala ... I know it will still have all the commercial elements .. But Mani did an awesome job in the presentation of THALAPTHY, even though it had all those elements like intro song, etc etc ... But it all blended well with the story and screeplay .... That's what I meant !!

every new movie will have the same caption to hype it up
some of the statements will be

1) The hero will be sought after greatly after this movie. (It doesn't apply to Rajni)
2) The story line is very new and not the usual masala
3) The songs are the highlights of this movie
4) One particular song will be youth anthem after its release
5) The fight scenes were well choreographed and sure to be talked about

It's the same thing for every movie from every director, production banner, director...

2. The story line is the same run of the mill with all akka amma sentiments

3. The music director has let down us with some mokkai songs lifted from hindi films

4. One particular song will definitely drive youth away from the hall to smoke outside

5. Fighting is utter waste

But please come and see the film as we have sold our properties to produce this film "

Yes, that was a great song !!! Pattaya kandipaa kalapuvom !! Neenga solliteengalaaa !!

I PRAY not ... Baba failed cos the basic story was toooo simple, and the screenplay was pathetic to Rajini's standards ... But here, since it's Shankar who's doin the two, I'm sure the movie will be intense and good !!

It was only when the movie was released that the music wasn't appreciated much. THats bcoz of poor screenplay, terrible looking Rajini etc....

சிவாஜி படத்துக்காக புதிய பொலிவில் ரஜினிகாந்த்

http://www.rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://sivajimovie.blogspot.com/2006/05/blog-post_21.html

ஷங்கர் இயக்கும் சிவாஜி படத்தில் தற்போது ரஜினிகாந்த் நடித்து வருகிறார். இந்த படத்தில் பல்வேறு கேரக்டரில் ரஜினிகாந்த் நடிக்கிறார்.

இதற்காக ரஜினியை வித்தியாசமாக இளமையுடன் காட்டுவதற்கு ஷங்கர் திட்டமிட்டார். இதற்காக அவருக்கு பல்வேறு உணவு கட்டுப்பாடுகள் கொண்டு வரப்பட்டன. இதனால் இப்போது ரஜினி உடல் பருமனாகவும் கன்னம் உப்பிய நிலையிலும் இளமையோடு காணப்படுகிறார்.

இதுபற்றி படத்தின் டைரக்டர் ஷங்கர் கூறியதாவது:-

ரஜினிகாந்துக்கு சிவாஜி படம் அவரது வாழ்க்கையில் ஒரு மைல் கல்லாக அமையும். படத்தில் அவரை புதிய பொலிவுடன் காட்ட வேண்டியது இருந்தது. கொஞ்சம் தடிமனாகவும் இருக்க வேண்டும். இதுமாதிரி ரஜினிவுடன் பேசி சில உணவு கட்டுப்பாடுகளை கடைப்பிடிக்க கூறினோம். சிறப்பு உணவுகளையும் சாப்பிட சொன்னோம். இப்போது அவரது கன்னம் உப்பி உடலும் பருமனாகி வித்தியாசமாக இருக்கிறார். இளமையாக காட்சி அளிக்கிறார்.

ரஜினி- ஸ்ரேயா ஜோடி மிகவும் பொருத்தமாக இருக்கிறது. இதுவரை பாத்திராத இளமையான வித்தியாசமான ரஜினியை இந்த படத்தில் நீங்கள் பார்க்கலாம்.

படத்தில் மொத்தம் 5 பாடல் கள் உண்டு. ஏ.ஆர்.ரகுமான் 3 பாடல்களை முடித்து விட்டார். ஒரு பாடலுக்கு படப்பிடிப்புக்காக ஐரோப்பிய நாடுகளுக்கு செல்கிறோம். அதற்கு முன்பு ஐதராபாத், சென்னையில் பாடலுக்கான படப்பிடிப்புகளை நடத்தி வருகிறோம்.

சிவாஜி படத்தின் 50 சதவீத படப்பிடிப்பு முடிந்து விட்டது. தீபாவளிக்கு ரிலீஸ் செய்து விடலாம் என்ற நம்பிக்கையோடு இருக்கிறோம். படத்தை நல்ல முறையில கொண்டு வருவதற்கு அதிக காலம் பிடிக்கும். இதை தவிர்க்க முடியாது.

இவ்வாறு அவர் கூறினார்.
_____________________________________________________

The highlighted lines remind that there are 5 songs in the movie ...

* ARR has finished 3 already

* Songs have been shot in Europe, Chennai, and Hyderabad so far

* Shooting of the movie has been done to 50% now

* Shankar hopes to release it for Diwali !!

Is that Blaaze on vocals? Song sounds totally different. Couldnt guess it as an interlude (all 3 videos) or a whole song. I can hear only "Superstar" ? Sure the BG scenes is going to be totally replaced with graphics... Look at the way Rajni symbolizes his hands for the superstar part...

Surprisingly, This is the First time I am seeing a picturization of an ARR song so early. That too Shankar's movie? These pics & video clips are more than a trailor. I loved only that black trousers with chains. Rest are horrible shreya kelavi

Is this guy anywhere in the shooting unit?

1) he was asked by shankar to remove the videos and pix from his blog
2) question is did u read it?he says:

"Sivaji The Boss

Due to the avalanch of e-mails and comments asking me to remove the pictures and videos that i posted here, i have taken the temporal decision of not showing these posts. Sorry to all of you... It has been incredible the explosion of the pictures and videos. :-O

Actually, on a marketing terms this has been an excellent tool.

Instead of organised photo shoots, Shankar should try experimenting with these kinda raw teaser clips. of 30sec or so. The hype it creates are simply awesome. Furthermore, this will drive the audience to theatre to witness where exactly the clip has been used and how it has been edited and made look grandeur.

It's a new tool to play with, if you ask me.

Did anybody read the article in Ju.V it is a good one!! and shows the humbleness of RK and the work ethic of shankar.. but I dont feel anymore substance in Shankar's movie than jazz hopefully he has a better and tight screenplay for RK in shivaji, it is really hard to imagine the success of chandramukhi(IMHO it was not close to a gr8 movie except for RK carrying some weight with his gusto appearance and charm and fan following, Manichithrathazh was much better in every aspect) and to match up for shivaji will be a uphill task. So good luck!! Hopefully ARR could pull some STRINGS to make it challenge CM success. Expectation is a devil, could rot the whole thing, but alas there were good turn-arounds in the past, so history always does not repeat itself (on the bad side) for most times. I could be more sceptical, but this leads to some kind of optimism isnt it?

Rahman brings in Pa Vijay for a song in Sivaji!
June 23, 2006

In Shankar�s films, one can be sure of songs oozing with fun. The theme song would definitely carry a strong message but others are just rollicking ones. Sivaji�s songs were shot in Hyderabad and Chennai. Vairamuthu had penned the songs and we all know how he comes up with unbelievably youthful lyrics. A.R. Rahman has set them to foot tapping music. Besides, recently ARR has asked Pa Vijay to ready a song for Sivaji. This song has also been set to tune and would soon be shot.
Pa Vijay earlier wrote for Shankar�s Boyz. Pa Vijay won the National award for best song writer for Autograph. It goes to prove his versatility as a writer because he could come up with staid songs and fizzy ones.

Kamal's song in Rajini's film � `Sivaji' secrets!
Rajini film songs are being made into re-mixes. Now for the first
time, we have a Kamal song in Rajini's film. Shankar is guarding
the secrets of `Sivaji' like a demon protecting its treasure, but
every now and then, some tidbit leaks out, like the above news.
Recently, a wedding scene of Shreya and Rajini getting married was
shot at a Thiruverkadu marriage hall. Following this, their nuptial
night scene was shot at the studios.

In this scene, Rajini and Shreya enjoy singing and dancing to old
numbers. One of the songs is `nethi raathiri yamma...' from the
Kamal film `Sakalakala Vallavan.' Other songs featured are songs
from MGR and Sivaji films. Then the style switches over to AR's
music for a dream song. The family owned AVM Studios has been
divided between AVM Saravanan and AVM Balasubramanian with both of
them taking care of their individual holdings. In the property
division, AVM Saravanan handed over the rights of the films produced
under the AVM banner to his younger brother Balasubramanian. So,
Shankar formally asked permission to use the song from `Sakalakala
Vallavan' in `Sivaji.' With great joy, Balasubramanian gave him the
go ahead. In a part of Balasubramanian's studio, a scene shows
Rajini and Vivek walking down the street. The AVM brothers have
shown that property may be divided but not their blood ties!

Sivaji shaping up well
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, August 10, 2006]

Rajinikanth's Sivaji is shaping up well. The mush talked about film being directed by Shankar for the famed AVM Productions has generated lot of expectations in the entire Tamil film industry.

Bringing together big names in industry like A R Rehman and K V Anand, the movie is currently being shot in Binny Mills in Chennai. A couple of days ago, a song sequence featuring Rajinikanth was shot. Set to tunes by A R Rehman, it is supposedly a mass number. Lawrence Raghavendra is choreographing the song.

Lawrence who is directing Muni took a break from the sets of Muni to be with Rajinikanth for filming the song sequence. Another grand set was erected at the Binny Mills in Chennai where a stunt sequence was also being shot.

With all things going well, the shooting for Sivaji is expected to be completed

Sivaji � Rajini�s different stages of life Aug 16, 2006

If you have always been crazy about Khans and Bachchans� costumes and yearned for the Bollywood-like costumes in Tamil movies, we have news for you. It won�t be too long that you spot Rajini in the legendary designer Manish Malhotra�s outfits in his next flick �Sivaji�. Manish is all set to don Rajini with his signature array of outfits that has made him hot property in Bollywood.

Manish has designed Shah Rukh, Rani , Preity and Abhishek�s looks in the recent Kabhi Alvidha Na Kehna (KANK). He has previously worked with Shankar in Nayak, Hindi remake of the Tamil hit Mudhalvan.

Though Rajini�s style is much sought after all over India and the superstar is known for his panache and fast paced movements, he never had a signature designer. Manish claims to fill the gap by donning the role of Rajini�s designer in Sivaji and states that since Rajini has the style-quotient, he fits perfectly in all the outfits designed by him.

Manish also let the cat out of the bag by stating that this movie will feature Rajini in his different stages of life and that Rajini will wear more of leather outfits in Shivaji. Manish declares that he is elated to work with Rajini and has grabbed the opportunity with no second thoughts when he was offered.

He certifies that Rajini is down to earth and is humble and has no air of a super star. Well, that is not news for us. Manish is responsible for Shahrukh�s splendid looks and we are sure that Shankar extracted the most out of him - for the kind of perfectionist he is - for Sivaji. Wait for the visual treat folks until Tamil New Year.

சிவாஜி படத்துக்காக �ராக்� டான்ஸ் ஆடினார் ரஜினி
ராகவா லாரன்ஸ் தகவல்

சிவாஜி படத்தில் ரஜினி 'ராக்' என்ற மேற்கத்திய நடனம் ஆடி அசத்தியிருப்பதாக டான்ஸ் மாஸ்டர் ராகவா லாரன்ஸ் கூறினார்.

சிவாஜி படத்தில் ரஜினிக்கு நடனம் அமைத்தது குறித்து �தினகரன்� நிருபரிடம் அவர் மேலும் கூறியதாவது: இயக்குனர் ஷங்கரின் படத்துக்கு நடனம் அமைக்கும் ஆசை இருந்தது. அதை பலமுறை அவரிடம் தெரிவித்திருக்கிறேன்.

முனி� படத்தை இயக்கிக் கொண்டிருந்தபோது, ஷங்கர் அழைத்தார். �சிவாஜி�யில் ரஜினிக்கு நடனம் அமைக�க சொன்னபோது, நெகிழ்ந்து போனேன்.

ரஜினிதான் என்னை சினிமாவில் கொண்டு வந்தவர். பின்னி மில்லில் அந்த பாடல் படமாக்கப்பட்டது. மேற்கத்திய இசையுடன் கூடிய பாடலுக்கு மேற்கத்திய பாணியிலேயே நடனம் அமைத்தேன்.
ஒருமுறை நான் ஆடுவதை பார்த்துவிட்டு, சிரமமான அசைவுகளையும் சுலபமாக செய்து காட்டினார் ரஜினி.

இயக்குனராகிவிட்டாலும் தொடர்ந்து நடனத்திலும் கவனம் செலுத்துகிறேன். முனி படத்தை அடுத்து, தெலுங்கில் நாகார்ஜுனா நடிக்கும் படத்தை இயக்குவேன். தமிழிலும் மற்ற ஹீரோக்களை வைத்து படங்களை இயக்குவேன். இவ்வாறு லாரன்ஸ் கூறினார்.

Rajni, Rahman & Shankar trio - Break the rulez! Aug 21, 2006

Film audience always needs to be kept guessing as to what they are going to see on the screen. Variety is undoubtedly an ingredient that can guarantee at least decent returns if not huge profits for a movie. We have seen in the past that the audience has unfailingly accepted movies that have broken the mould, even if there was no big star cast. The 2004 Kadhal and this year�s Imsai Arasan are very good examples.

So, anyone who has been in movies for a long time knows the importance of not getting typecast or predictable. One needs to be versatile if one has to stick around. Even Superstar Rajnikanth is no exception. We all saw what happened when he tried to rework the tried and tested formula in Baba. He had to then opt for something we had never seen him do before in Chandramukhi, and it is still running in the city. That�s what change is all about. Rajni seems to have grasped this point quite well and if reports are anything to go by, then we can expect a lot of fresh things in Sivaji.

What are the changes? Well do not be surprised. In Sivaji, there will be no typical Rajni introduction song with the trademark philosophies and national integration ideas cropping up in the lyrics. We all love to see those larger than life intro songs, the fans go crazy, remember Devuda�. But Shankar is not the man who will buckle to set trends and stylisms. His style is that he has no trademark style and that�s what makes him a top director.

When the music composer A R Rahman was contacted for his comments, he appeared to be very pleased with the way the songs have shaped up. In addition to the �Shankar, Rajini� special, the audience will have Rahman special also in Sivaji. Five songs have been composed and all of them have come out very well and fresh. Shankar had shown two of the songs to Rahman that have been shot and Rahman in turn is very impressed with the finished product. �Visuals are very beautiful and have a happy tone in them. I have not seen a better looking Rajini till now. He looks very handsome�, says Rahman.

The first song in the movie has been picturised on Rajni and Shreya with Lawrence doing the choreography. Usually it is Tarun master who choreographs all Rajni intro songs. The song was shot at the Binny mills in Chennai. Well, now we all know that we are not going to get the usual Rajni intro. We shall find out how good the new one is only when the movie releases.

I guess it will be more of a chanting like what happend with Aamir in RDB. It would be gr8 too.... rajini has this incomparable mesmerising ... the song will turn out to be charismatic...

Same can be said of Kamal tooo... take "kadavul paadhi mirugam paadhi" for instance. None of the singers cud have had that flair present in his rendition.

Very sad that none of the current generation actors, the so called succesors to these legends have that "gethu" in their voice

Battle Royal!

By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 05 October , 2006, 10:20

It is a classic clash in Kollywood between the reigning queens- Asin, Trisha and Nayantara to be Rajnikanth�s item girl for Sivaji!
Shankar in a hush-hush operation had approached all the three girls to do this item number with the superstar which is also his introductory song.

Trisha who is shooting for Selvaraghavan�s Telugu film in Hyderabad is reported to have politely refused as her biggest ambition is to be Rajni�s heroine in one of his future projects.

That leaves Asin and Nayantara in the race. The peppy fast number tuned by A.R.Rahman was played to both the actresses and the girls are very keen to shake a leg with the ultimate superstar of Indian cinema.

And according to industry buzz, Sivaji will open with this song and the audience are sure going to go ga-ga over this number.

Remember that some years back Shankar had picturised �Urvasi.,..Urvasi�� song from Kathalan as the opening scene and in Boys four minutes after the film starts, there was that hit number Enakkoru Boyfriend Venama...

And the director in an interview was quoted saying that �it is always the first song in the film that captures the attention of the viewers�.

There were some reports that there will not be an introductory song sequence for Rajnikanth in Sivaji. However, Rajnikanth without an introductory song is like �Idly without Sambar�!

It seems Shankar and Rahman finally sat together to work on this mind-blowing opening song which is sure to top the charts. And the heroine who does this number with Rajni is sure to get a tremendous reach with the masses.

Nayantara who already shares a great rapport with the superstar seems to be the front runner as the pair was a hit in Chandramukhi. But Asin is not far behind as she wants to be a part of a landmark film called Sivaji at any cost!

Sivaji audio is supposed to be released for Diwali or in November. This was confirmed by my friend in Orkut who is a close friend of a singer in Sivaji.

This was what he told me:

These are the starting lines of 4 of the songs:
-adaal udan pesadha di..en salangai ku bhadil solladi(remix of an old song)
-unpeyar ennada
-boom boom jee boom ba
-talla dimi takka dimi pucha..pyun pyun enna rastina..ho ra ho yenna rastina..hoo haa(a japanese start)

From: Hulkster on Sat Oct 7 22:33:55 2006. [Full View]

That is unlikely....AVM and Shankar are good promoters of their movie and very well know that a huge gap between the audio release and the movie release is likely to result in publicity disembowelment. Unless Shivaji is up for a pongal release else except the audio release to be around late march or early april.

Sivaji songs unveiled

Eager to hear some news about Superstar�s Sivaji songs? Don�t you worry folks. We have got news. Reliable, first hand, and scoop. What more can you ask for? Credible sources revealed that Sivaji has 7 songs to its credit. All being pep songs with energetic beats from Rahman, they are sure to propel the movie�s music in the top position for a long time.

Out of the seven songs from Sivaji, we have got news about 5 numbers.

Va ji, Va ji, Sivaji�

This could be the opening song of the movie. Though it was decided earlier not to have Rajini�s entry into the movie with an introductory song, Shankar is contemplating with the thought of reinstating one such song. That could be it.

Unpeyar ennada�

As is the rule in Rajini�s movies, we presume that this is a philosophical number joining the likes of other famous songs of the same genre, which are quintessential for his movies.

Boom boom jee boom ba �

This most likely is the duet song with Shreya and Rajini in the lead. If that is true Rajini could be seen shaking his legs with Shreya either in the exotic European locations or simply in our neighbouring Karnataka.

Talla dimi takka dimi pucha..pyun pyun enna rastina..ho ra ho yenna rastina.. hoo haa..

Didn�t decipher a word of it, don�t you worry or be concerned about the plight of Tamil lyrics in songs. This song is Japanese and will be shot in Japan when the next schedule commences.

Adaal udan pesadha di.. en salangai ku bhadil solladi..

You might wonder what the old Vanjikottai Valiban song is doing in Sivaji�s song list. We assume that inspired by the hits the remix of old songs generate, Shankar has decided to embrace one such song. This song could be a climax song or just like the one in Padayappa where Ramyakrishnan challenges Rajini with her dance moves, but with the lead ladies.

Stay tuned for more updates and we will enlighten you with more news when our reliable birdie coos news into our ears. Ciao.

yo thineshan...haha...ur name sounds so close to my name... u wanna know the whole story... ok..ill start with my very own experience in MALAYSIA...started off very sweetly but than turned bitter as usual for an ARR album....

i was 15 y/o when Boys audio released....i still remember the date...July 28 2003...Boys audio was released in Malaysia...i went to a place called Brickfields to get my CD....and when i got down the car... all i could heard was Boys songs everywhere,in EVERY TAMIL SHOPS there,be it a restaurant,audio shops of cash & carry shops...... went to an audio shop...got my CD for RM 19. played it when i came back...didint want to play it in the car.....[ps: i never drove there....my dad gave a lift ]..

the output??? MALAYSIA was singging BOYS songs everywhere!!! they had this THR top 10 Hits...and ever since Boys was released....it caught the no 1 spot for like i think so many months close to 8 months i think...untill the djs asked the listeners to REQUEST us to REQUEST them to take out the song from the top 10...it didint give any chance for other songs to come up to no 1... not even that years another big hit Kaake Kaake...imagine it was that huge hit in malaysia.... its something rare to see a DJ ask the listeners to ask them to take out the song....

also if u didint know...that year Boys audio was nominated for BEST MD for Filmfare...and Kaake Kaake won... they juries gave 2 unoficial lame excuse..
1.Too much english words in the songs
2.Movie was a flop in TN

and they had this another award in malaysia...ITFA awards if im not mistaken,they purposely never nominate BOYS for the audio section.... coz they knew it would win... wanna know y i say this... when other sections were shown and where Boys was nominated,there was a HUGE support from the audience : clap,whisel,cheer,shout.... which even kaake kaake didint get... and we know that again harris won for kaake kaake even in ITFA...

so u can see....it was pure politics were played during BOYS time....i hope it doesnt repeat for Shivaji...

If boys didnt get an award because of too many english words, how come kadhal yaanai won it in 2005? Purely biased! But the same wont repeat for Sivaji no matter how many songs release. It is gonna be a giga hit, I swear. If it doesnt, only god can help india's musical taste. If they wanna listen to copied music and remixes all day, no one can stop them. Everyone in India should be proud to be born in the same generation as Rahman. WHen foreigners are starting to appreciate Rahman's music, why is his mother country not?

Dinesh and Thineshan( Confused with your names yaar!!!), ARR uses new sounds and tunes and he experiments a lot with his music. Neither does HJ nor YSR. So normally thalaivar's music takes some time to grow on the listeners. If the film becomes a hit, it gives ample time for the songs to reach the audience. Hope u remember the case of Padayappa. When the audio was released, the rajni fans were'nt too happy about the songs. They were used to Deva's music at that time. But once the movie was released, the audio became a rage and it still holds the record for the highest sold TFM album till date.

The same thing has happened with Boys too. when the film drowned, its songs, inspite of being a new revelation in TFM, didnt get the expected recogniton. A mediocre album called Kaaka Kaaka hogged the limelight.

Nayan pips Asin!

In the Nayan vs Asin race to be Rajniknath�s item girl for Sivaji, Nayan is the winner!
Last week, Rajnikanth and Shankar decided to go ahead with Nayantara who had proved lucky for the superstar in Chandramukhi. The peppy fast number tuned by A.R.Rahman will now be shot in Mysore and Pune.

Nayantara who is currently in Canada shooting for a Telugu film has given six days for the Sivaji item number. According to industry buzz, Sivaji will open with this song and the audiences are sure going to go ga-ga over this number.

Nayantara who already shares a great rapport with the superstar is all excited about this special appearance in Sivaji which will be a landmark film.

Giga hit yes as even for audio rajini's name sells and with ARR Shankar combo being hugely popular this is bound to happen. But musically it will not be that musical like a taal or a swades. It is aimed at mass and may be mixed like godfather...very nice to listen to but certainly nowhere near the musical best of rahman.

S P B sings Sivaji�s opening song

After deliberations, it seems that Shankar has made his mind up to add the inevitable factor of Rajini movies � an opening song in Sivaji. Previously it was reported that Shankar and Rajini have decided against an introductory song.

The opening song will be penned by the noted lyricist Na. Muthukumar who joins the list of veteran lyricists such as Vali, Vairamuthu, and Pa. Vijay in writing lyrics for Sivaji.

The song, which will be sung by S P Balasubramaniam, is supposedly a foot-thumping number unlike the philosophical opening numbers that Rajini�s movies showcase. It will have Nayantara shaking her booty with Rajini, as reported by us earlier.

Sources reveal that Shankar has requested the lyricists to keep their lips pursed on the songs of Sivaji. With media�s attention focused towards the mega movie, Shankar feels that any revelation of information will lead to the loss of suspense factor. Meaning, one has to wait till the release of Sivaji�s music. Well, we�ll update you on the scoop every now and then though.

`Sivaji` song in Pune!

The famous introductory song of Rajnikanth in Sivaji is being shot in Pune and surrounding areas. This peppy fast number is picturised on Rajni and Nayanthara along with hundreds of dancers choreographed by Brinda.

The whole song was conceptualized by Shankar and is being shot against the backdrop of a huge canvass. He has scouted and chosen villages in and around Pune as the background. It will be a typical mass number in typical Tamilnadu style with costumes specially designed by Manish Malhotra. Rahman has used local instruments to give it a nativity touch.

To add more colour, Shankar had a 50-member team of Pulikali artists from Trichur in Kerala to dance in the background. Pulikali is a popular folk art performed during the Onam season in which a group of performers paint their whole body like tigers and wear tiger mask. The theme of the play is tiger hunting. A hunter and a drummer accompany the tigers and create an atmosphere of mock hunting.

Shankar loves to shoot songs in outdoor with a lot of grandeur and this time he will take 10 days to complete the song. According to industry sources it will be one of the costliest song picturised in Tamil cinema.

A sneak peek into Sivaji’s intro song
Oct 26, 2006

Yesterday we had reported to you about the intro song of Sivaji being sung by the veteran S P Balasubramanian. As per our promise to keep you updated on the same, here we go.

With the onset of the post Diwali schedule of Sivaji, the crew is geared up with all energy and is busy shooting in Pune. If you might remember, we carried reports about the luxurious bungalow there, where the climax of Sivaji is scheduled to be shot. Now the crew is in Pune for the opening song as well which is being penned by Na. Muthukumar – refer to our earlier reports on this too.

A coupe of days back, the intro song involving Rajni and Nayan was shot near a dam. It is also reported that more than 5,000 junior artistes were brought in from Tamilnadu for this specific song sequence.

Shankar known for his grandiose has revived the dying dance form of Tamil Nadu Viz. Mayilaatam, Oyilaatam and Karagaatam in this number, which is alleged to be a foot tapping number. The crew will be back in Chennai after canning the shoots in Pune for the next schedule, which is speculated to commence from November 14.

Sivaji, the mega attraction of the ensuing year 2007 is packed with all the possible features that the team Rajini, Shankar, and Rahman can assimilate. To add to the glamour quotient, the movie has Shreya, Nayantara, and Mallika Sherawat. It is indeed a five star feast for Rajni fans all over the world.

Sivaji updates in Kumudam magazine

http://rajinifans.com/showurl.asp?url=http://sivajimovie.blogspot.com/2006/10/sivaji-updates-in-kumudam-magazine.html

The Gist of the article for ppl who cant read Tamil !!

* Talks abt the basic story - Seems like the Father Rajini who works hard in giving quality education as charity gets killed by some baddies ... And the son Rajini, who comes from America is also manipulated by the baddies to make him lose everything he's got ... How he starts from a rupee to go all the way in acheiving his Dad's position to become THE BOSS is the movie !!

* In addition to all the style scenes, they have a first-night song that has been shot in Delhi in a house full of flowers .. Seems like SHREYA has a lot to offer in this song !!! And sounds like it will be a treat for Rajini fans !!

* As a competitor for this song, they have an item number with Nayanthara that was shot in Pune, with all kinds of tamil folk dances and abt 200 ppl .... Sounds like this song will have a different and a huge backdrop like some song in MUDHALVAN !!

* For another song, they have imported 5 overcoats for Rajini that's made of Kangaroo skin from Singapore ... The cost of one such overcoat is abt 3 lakh rupees it seems !!

* Another song has a set of VENICE city in Binny Mills, Chennai ... For this song, there seems to be a lot of international faces !!!

* So if the songs are sooo grand, then how abt the action sequences ?? Seems like they've had a lot of car CHASE scenes, and some really dashing Rajini/villain sequences !!!

* Sounds like Rajini is also gonna rock on a bike ... He's gonna stand-and-drive, lie-and drive it seems !!!

* In one of Peter Haynes' stunt direction sequences, Rajini seems to have hit abt 25 ppl in one shot ... And it looks like Rajini had shots where he was ROPED, and the shooting went on for 3 days on the ropes it seems !!

* And KUMUDHAM feels that if they start budgeting all these expenses, this might be the biggest budget movie in the whole of India !!

Hopefully, the movie will be WORTH it's hype and expenses !!

Sivaji fever picksup
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, October 28, 2006]

Shankar and grandeur are inseparable. Known for his big budget films, the director is not leaving any stone unturned in ensuring that his forthcoming Sivaji to end up as a rollicking blockbuster.

With Shankar, Rajinikanth and A R Rahman coming together, Sivaji is touted to be the movie of the season in Tamil film industry now. Expectations are high on everyone.

So trying to live up to all expectations is Shankar. After shooting in European countries for a song featuring Rajinikanth and Shreya, Shankar and his crew have now reached Pune to shoot a song sequence and a few scenes.

Several 1000 junior artistes were present for the song sequence. Nayantra shook her legs with Rajinikanth for the song which was sung by S P Balasubramaniam.

At the Binny Mills in Chennai a huge set replicating roads in Mexico was put where a song sequence was shot recently.

With Tamil New Year's Day fast approaching, when Sivaji would grace theatres, avid Rajini fans are eager to know more about the film.

But the news about the film is hard to come by.

Scoop�Rajini�s Sivaji Hospitals & Medical College

Scoop on Sivaji climax. A reliable birdie cooed in our ears that Sivaji�s climax has been shot in Pune. In the grandeur set which was made to replicate a medical college and university, scenes of Raghuvaran inaugurating the Sivaji Hospitals and Medical College with Rajini standing next to him were shot.

Colorful balloons were let out in the air during the shoots making the sky go vibrant. Shreya, and Vivek were also present in the shoots and applauded when Raghuvaran snipped the ribbons. Rajini was in black coat and Raghuvaran was dressed in deep grey suit. Shreya was sporting a stunning magenta silk sari.

Besides, the introductory song involving Nayan and Rajini was shot in a hill station in Pune and some sequences were also shot in Pune University. Romance sequences involving Rajini, Shreya were filmed in the Pune Railway station. Shreya confessing her love to Rajini in public was canned during the shoots in Pune Railway station.

Back in Chennai, Nayan, the effervescent beauty from the shores of Alappuzha chimed that Sivaji will prove that she is the perfect match for Rajini. She seems to be excited about the opportunity � twice now � to star with Rajini. It is difficult to bag the role opposite Rajini in two consecutive movies. But I am fortunate to be able to act with him in Sivaji following Chandramukhi. Though my role is only for a dance sequence, I am happy that I will appear in the opening scene with him, which is a credit by itself, Nayan announced. She had three movies to her credit for Diwali and with E�s collection on the rise, Nayantara�s stakes are likely to increase in Tamil.

IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, November 08, 2006]

Rajinikanth's Sivaji will feature a song sung by the Super Star himself. According to reports, music composer A R Rehman has convinced Rajinikanth to sing the song in his own voice.

Rajinikanth had last sung Adikuthu Kuliru in Mannan set to tunes by Ilayaraja.

Sivaji, one of the costliest films from AVM, is directed by Shankar and features Shreya opposite Rajinikanth.

Buzz is that Rajinikanth too has expressed his readiness to sing the number.

Rahman chills out!

Last week A.R.Rahman decided to chill out at the Taj Fishermen Cove on East Coast Road on the Chennai-Mahabalipuram route.

For Rahman it was work cum relaxation as he was composing two songs for his forthcoming film Kalaipuli S.Thanu’s Chakkarakatti. It is a youth film and the launch pad of K.Bhagyaraj’s son Shantanu.

Rahman took his own time to compose the numbers as wanted to give it a peppy young feel. In fact lyricist Pa Vijay was asked to re-write the lyrics to make the song better.

Meanwhile the buzz is that the introductory song for Rajnikanth in Sivaji is said to be rocking. The superstar is said to have called up Rahman and congratulated him.

Rahman works best with people whom he is comfortable with and there is no one better than Shankar! The Shankar-Rahman combo is one of the biggest success stories in Tamil film audio history.

Sivaji, grander than grand

It's grandeur. Nothing less.

Everything about Sivaji is grand. One of the costliest films to have been made in Tamil film industry ever, Shankar shot a song sequence at Pune recently with Rajinikanth and Nayantra shaking legs together. It was one of the grandest ever, sources say.

Known to keep details close to his heart until his film's release is Shankar. As usual, he did not divulge any detail on the song shot at Pune.

However sources say, it was a 'typical' Shankar style song. The song has been penned by lyricist Na Muthukumar and set to tunes by A R Rahman. It goes Kaveri Aaril Kai Kuliki.

Over 350 junior artistes appeared for the song, which were taken all the way from Kodambakkam to Pune.

What more these dancers had Rajinikanth's image painted on their torso.
Shankar had brought painters, who use to draw facial paints for Kathakali dancers in rural districts of Kerala, for the purpose.

Supposedly the richest shot song ever, it has peppy beats.

This is the first time that Rajini's introductory song features an important actress.

When it is a film from superstar, it naturally kindles a lot of excitement and expectations and Sivaji also was not an exception to this. This film was in the lime sight all along with diverse speculations about it. It holds the unique distinction of being the most expensive film not only for Rajni but also for an A.V.M. banner. Sivaji has plans of a spectacular release simultaneously in Tamilnadu, Andhra, Kerala and overseas. More than 500 prints are anticipated. Rajni plans to leave for the Himalayas immediately after the completion of the movie. Meanwhile audio release of the film is also intended. This Tamil New Year is surely going to be a memorable one for the fans of Rajnikanth all round the world.

Rahman completes recording for Sivaji
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, December 09, 2006]

A R Rahman is a relieved man now, for he has completed recording all the six songs for Rajinikanth�s magnum opus Sivaji.

Directed by Shankar and produced by AVM, the movie has generated lots of hype and curiosity among millions of Rajinikanth fans.

A thrilled Rahman says that the music of Sivaji would live up to all expectations and would be different from his earlier works.

Rahman, who stormed into the Indian film music with his debut film Roja, bagging the national award, has a word of advice for the up and coming music directors.

He says, �I think it is important for a composer to have his own identity,� he said.

Looking back at his career, Rahman says, �People remembered me more for my rhythm-driven songs, than my melodious numbers. But things have changed since Lagaan.�

On the criticisms against him that he takes a long time to complete composing, Rahman says, �I take all criticism objectively and believe in elevating the tastes of the listener.�

Count down begins for Sivaji i]

Dec 14, 2006

The most awaited film of 2007- Sivaji is nearing completion. Post-production work is going on in full swing. The audio launch of the film is expected to be held in March 2007. According to trade pundits, director Shankar feels that if songs are released just before a month of the release of film, it is sure to remain fresh in the memory of the audience which would be an additional attraction for the movie.

AVM Company has decided to release the audio under their banner. Since they already have an audio label in their name, the process becomes easier. Added to that, there is a precedence of a great musical victory of Shankar-Rahman combination in �Boys� few years back. This factor is also said to tilt the balance in their favour. In the event of AVM not joining the fray, there might also occur a possibility of handing over the rights for audio, film and satellite to one single company.

Biggies in big trouble!

By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 21 December , 2006, 11:31

Tamilnadu government�s decision to slash cinema admission rates has been welcomed by the common man on the streets. It is a New Year gift from the Karunanidhi government to the people in the state and has the backing of all film-related organizations.
On the face of it, everybody should be happy, but at least half a dozen big budget movies on the floor are in serious trouble. Notably Rajnikanth�s Shankar directed Sivaji and Kamal Hassan�s Dashaavtar , will find it difficult to be marketed.

The buzz is that Sivaji will have to be sold at Rs 60 Crore plus for all its rights, if it has to profitable to its producers. And �Oscar Films� themselves have claimed that Dashaavtar will cost around Rs 30 Crore. Why, even some of the Pongal releases have been sold to distributors at current rate. Now the big question is will these distributors take delivery?

The new rates come into effect from January 1, 2007 which means Pongal releases do not get the benefit of opening week-end. And however big hit the film turns out to be, collections will only be 50 percent of the current rate. It clearly means that rates have to be renegotiated with the distributor, entailing losses to producers.

The biggest losers are going to be superstars as their salaries are going to be slashed by more than 50 percent! Star technicians and all others involved in film production will also feel the pinch, as producers are going to pass the buck back to them.

The over dependence on the star system has been the bane of the industry.In a way, it will bring some discipline to the industry, as star salaries constitute 50 to 60 percent of a normal Tamil big budget movie.

Hey the director is Shankar. He wont let even air escape from anything related to Sivaji unintentionally. It does not sound like Rahman at all. Sivaji's songs/BGM will be more than just a simple rap like this. Where did u get this from coucou?

Guys this is NOT SIVAJI's BGM. I did some research and I found the lyrics to this whole bit.

Details:
Bass Armstrong Song
Words: Joe
Music: Kazuya

The starting chorus might have given idea to someone to post it as sivaji's BGM but its not.

Shooting:
A dialogue scene was canned where Suman (villain) after attaining rajini's wealth says rajini to go back to conductor job (rajini's previous job). Suman first refused to say this but Rajini told him its only acting and he doesnt have a problem with it. The scene was very powerful and the crew members were shooked.

Songs:
The songs are coming out next month. The album will have 7 soundtracks.

A.R. Rahman speaks about Rajini's previous films and Sivaji
(2/7/2007)
http://rajinifans.com/detailView.asp?title=144

Rehman saying:- when talking about sivaji,this is my 4th film with rajini...,my last hit in tamil is boys and also i say aayudha eluthu,hopefully i' will get back in this film...i already composed 5 songs all r entertaining,but one day ask me to compose intro song for hero,according to this story there is no intro song,but i composed and recorded,after shooting this song shankar showed me the rush,i really surprised with his style......but yet we did'nt confirm if there is intro song...still we confused

on mudhalvan:after confirming that rajini going to act in mudhalvan,shankar ask me to compose one duet song,it will be situation song,i take 3days to complete "mudhalvanae" song for rajini,but he finally make quit from mudhalvan......i get huge response on mudhalvan title music,so i take 52 days to complete re-recording,still have more.......

On muthu,baba:
my first film with ss is muthu,on composing tunes rajini suddenly came to my studios and take response to get good tunes from me......so i gave big hit.....i agree that i didnt do well in baba and padayappa,i heard that someone said we can heard rajini song only when rehmaan compose...and also said rehmaan doing worse only with rajini...but i sure sivaji will give different music among our combo.story is different.but i cant say any more about this movie

on jaggubai:- mostly i will do music only after hearing the story,i did same for "jaggubai",when ss narrate story i enjoyed that i got another "roja" type movie,but ss is terrorist in this film...suddenly rajini ask me to compose and sing intro song for jaggubai,the song starts with"aararai kodi" from anbae aaruyirae is composed for jaggubai and i sing and lyrics also same..due to drop of jaggubai i did it to that s.j movie ,i did it same for godfather(song:kaatril oru vaarthai)...........

`Sivaji` shoot complete!
http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14390832

AVM�s Rajnikanth magnum opus Sivaji, directed by Shankar, the showman of south is in post production status. The entire talkie and the song sequences of the film are complete, with the last portion over in New York last week (see pic).

The film took 14 months for its shoot, the highest number of days ever for a Rajnikanth film. And the rumour mill has it that nearly Rs 40 Crore has been spent so far, making it one of the costliest films ever made in India!

After completing the New York shoot Rajnikanth went straight for a thanks giving to Lord Venketaswara of Tirupati. Remember that he had also gone before the shooting commenced to get the blessing of Tirupati Balaji his favourite deity?

After praying at the temple he made his first official comment about the film. He said � � Sivaji is going to be awesome, atleast 100 times bigger and better than my favourite film Baasha.� Rajni is one actor who never hypes his films, but after seeing the rushes of the first half during his dubbing he was bowled over by Shankar�s work!

The elusive Shankar is still trying to keep all post production work of the film as a top secret. Shankar is said to have preferred the expensive but state-of-the- art Kodak Cinelabs Mumbai, which is the most recent of Kodak�s network of processing laboratories. The DI work of all top Bollywood films are done here and the clarity shows on the big screen.

So Sivaji is definitely going to be the big budget bonanza of the year.

Sivaji release date is announced
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
February 17, 2007
This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

Shooting for Superstar's Sivaji that had been going on for the past one year has finally been completed. The movie has by now hit the home stretch in its post production work and this has encouraged the producers to announce that they will be releasing the movie on the 12th of April, two days before it was actually expected.

sivaji

Sivaji has been shot at various locations including Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune and prominent cities of Spain and Australia and the US. Rajni, who had taken quite some time deciding upon Sivaji had visited the Tirupati shrine before beginning work for the movie. Now that the movie has been completed without any hassles he has visited the holy shrine once again to thank the God for keeping things smooth. Rajni has reportedly been very pleased by the rushes of the movie that were shown to him. "This is fully a Shankar's movie. It is a commercial movie and will satisfy everyone. Now that the shooting of the movie is complete I have come to meet the real boss" said the modest actor at Tirupathi.

Now that the news is out, Tamil film buffs, gear up. The biggest treat in the last two years is less than two months away. The Boss arrives on April the 12th.

He further mentioned that large number of prints of the movie are ordered as opposed to any other Tamil movie. Cassettes of Sivaji will hit the stores in a couple of weeks from now and not later than the second week of March.

Sivaji Audio to be released at Inox Theater, Chennai (most probably)
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/feb-07-03/22-02-07-inox.html

When facilities in a theatre are perfect, it is only natural that everyone flocks to such a place. Hence it does not come as a surprise when celebrities from Kollywood are said to patronize the newly inaugurated Inox theatre in City Centre, Radhakrishnan Road, Chennai.

After all everyone would like to have a pleasant movie viewing time. As the theatre is complete with all the latest facilities in theatre technology, it has become the favorite haunt out of the film world. Recently press show of Pachaikili Muthucharam was screened there and Mozhi is also slated to be shown here.

There is a talk that major film festivals are likely to be held at Inox. To top this list of positive feedbacks, AVM authorities are contemplating if they could have the audio release of Sivaji here. Talks are gong on to ensure the smooth progress of the mega event. As the security arrangements are perfect in this premise Inox is the perfect bet for the audio release of this mega film.

it says.. antony was famous for slick editing of movies from kaaka kaaka .. and he does the trailers according to his taste and even directors wont interfere.This is in the agreement when antony is signed as editor for any movie.he uses some english album or movies bgm for trailer according to his liking.

for SIVAJI.. antony has asked shanker to get permission from ARR for having bgm from other albums for the trailer.

for the sake of SHIVAJI ..ARR has allowed it with big heart

Sivaji to be released on Tamil New Year's day
http://www.hindu.com/2007/02/23/stories/2007022320100200.htm

The production team of Rajnikant's next movie `Sivaji' has announced that the film will be released by Tamil New Year's Day.

Director Shankar, who is working with Rajnikant for the first time, is busy with post-production work. A.R. Rahman is occupied with the final mixing of songs.

`Sivaji' is production house AVM's 168th film and its ninth film featuring the super star.

Actor Suman plays the villain.

One song in the film is significantly different. Moving away from the normal method of shooting the sequence and then re-recording the music score, it combines a song and fight sequence. The team first shot the stunt sequence (using stunt artists), directed by stunt master Peter Hein.

It was then edited and processed. A.R. Rahman composed the background score for the sequence. Later, the scene was re-shot with Rajnikanth doing the `real stuff'.

The film's audio CD and cassettes will be released by mid-March. National award winner K.V. Anand handles the camera. M. Saravanan and M.S. Guhan are the producers. Director S.P. Muthuraman is joint producer. Vaalee, Na.Muthu Kumar and Pa.Vijay have written a song each while Vairamuthu has penned two songs.

bay, i have just forseen things......when the movie bcomes a hit (aduio/movie wise), then just see who is going to credit ARR.....take our TF section only, everyone will coolly say - wat did ARR do for this to bcome a hit.......and i'll be left shouting high and dry at them......

i know, its tuf for ppl. like u who like both, but cant help it buddy........this is wat will happen........i'm happy to eat a humble pie here though.....

ok, enuf of damp squib........its just my view.....u guys pls ensoy shivaji......

Maddy did not really have arguments with rajini fans...Nerd had a sort of disagreement but that was for rajini presence having more hit guarantee than a MD's presence in his movie....the others who were arguing with maddy were actually kamal fans..thinkfloyd and some others...:shocked:

It is tough for us A.R.Rahman fans...but I guess we should learn to keep ourself cool and relaxed and not over hype the songs before it actually get released and we hear it ourselves.... Very Happy

I think Sivaji song will be far better than Adikkudhu kuliru...

ajay... def it will be better... but Rajini singging a song... isnt very inspiring.... could have save that song and let a pro sung it....

mabby its more like " Chittukuruvi - Parasuram",they said Arjun was singging a number but end up only chanting a few lines in the begining & ending of the song.....

ARR wud easily change Rajni's vocie with his instuments. Remember manoj's voice in Eachi Elumichi. Iam damn sure that ARR wud've asked manoj to sing coz of BR's compulsion. But he made sure that the song was'nt affected. the same thing wud happen here too...

The most expected movie Sivaji starring Superstar Rajinikanth and Shreya has completed its shoot and the post-production work is on a move with full swing as the banner AVM wants the movie to be released for Tamil New Year.

After much of rumours, finally the banner AVM has announced the release date of Sivaji, Which is on April 12, 2007 - Just two days before Tamil New Year.

Its a known fact Shankar's movie information will never be let out.
Sneak information about the movie.:

a) Its a story about man who fights for education in India.
b) Kadhal fame Sandhya dubs for Shreya.
c) Superstar Rajinikanth unleashes his new style as a white man.
d) The introduction song of Sivaji is "Jee Jee Sivaji" sung by SPB.
e) Superstar Rajinikanth goes folksy (He dances for the tunes of Garagaattam by A.R. Rahman).
f) A special bus was designed for this movie which has a special hidden feature (In-built hi-fi nursing room) which cannot be seen by anyone travelling on the bus nor moving on the road.

These are the information we tried to gather from the unit of Sivaji. Hopefully the information provided by the unit should be true.

We just cannot count the days for April 12 to watch the biggiest movie Sivaji.

Thalaivar Intro Song is a RAP - Theme is Welcoming Thalaivar to TamizhNadu from USA. This is very fast numbered one sung by ARR and Blaze and sure to ROCK fans

Another song starts with below lyrics thats taken from tamil
literature like "Narumugaiye - Iruvar"

Thalaivar Sings

"Poovaambaai...
aambal aambal. "

"Punnagayo
mavval mavval. "

Rest of this song is in normal Tamil. The final lines of the stanza
goes...

"Nee azhagiyar mayangum azhagiyadi
Pala kavingargal karpanai thavidubodi"

The female voice in the song keeps repeating

"Vaaji vaaji vaaji,
En jeevan shivaji"

The tune is mindblowing guys sung by sweet voice of UNNI KRISHNAN. I am sure this melody is going to rock TFM for a long long time.

"Poovaambai" is a way of addressing a girl "aambal" means wine. These two songs are approved by SS and recorded officially for
Sivaji. Will keep everyone updated on the happenings.

45 days for the D-day!
By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 01 March , 2007, 14:49
The countdown has begun for the release of AVM�s magnum opus Sivaji in Tamil and its dubbed version in Telugu. The film is now scheduled for release on April 15, Sunday, Tamil New Year. Just 45 days more to see superstar Rajnikanth doing a film with Shankar the showman of south for the first time!

The combination is rocking - Rajnikanth + Shankar + A.R.Rahman + AVM = Entertainment extravaganza. In other words the real superstar is being directed by the czar of commercial cinema with the music of Indian Mozart and marketed by the leading production house! What more can you ask for, except saying loudly - It will be paisa vasool!

The entire shoot of Sivaji is complete and the re-recording will start shortly. The audio of the film is likely to be marketed under AVM�s own label will hit the market by mid-March. It is AVM�s 168th film and the ninth with Rajnikanth.

And the area wise marketing of the film is going on. Already Kerala and Karnataka have been sold and yesterday (Feb 28), AVM has come out with newspaper ads in Andhra announcing that Bellamkonda Suresh holds the theatrical rights for Sivaji�s Telugu version.

Now what is left is only Tamilnadu and overseas rights for which hectic parleys are going on.

Guys, the news that SIVAJI will be released in may is false guys. First of all, for any reason other than shankar not completing the movie, shankar has no right to tell a big production house such as AVM to postpone the movie. If cricket will bother Sivaji, then AVM will be the one to postpone, shankar cant interfere in these matters unless he needs more time to complete the film.

Sivaji getting potponed is a rumour. My family knows AVM Saravanan personally and when we spoke to him last Saturday, he himself informed us that they are desperately trying to release the film on 15th Apr. Also he mentioned that they are not going to have any big audio release and the audio will be out by mid March.

Shankar's stoic silence!

By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 06 March , 2007, 09:26

There are 40 days left for the release of Rajnikanth's AVM big budget extravaganza Sivaji. However director Shankar has not uttered a word about the release date or anything regarding the film! No press material or even the audio launch of the film has taken place!
Shankar believes in the old saying ?"Silence is golden". According to sources close to Shankar, he will speak only when the film is ready for release. The buzz is that graphics and special effects are still to be completed, and re-recording is yet to start. A.R Rahman takes a long time in re-recording, and Shankar too is known to spend days on a single reel! Added to that there are rumours that Shankar and Rahman would prefer doing the work in London, where they will not be disturbed or be under any kind of pressure.
Remember Shankar's earlier producer Oscar Ravichandran, kept on announcing the release date of Anniyan, which he had to keep on postponing, as the director was not ready with the final copy! Finally when Shankar was ready, he himself told Ravi to release it on a particular Friday (June 17, 2005). Shankar kept to his lucky number 8 (1+7) and the rest as they say is history, as the film turned out to be a blockbuster!
No wonder they call Shankar the Big- P. The perfectionist who provides paisa-vasool movies to the public, but is a pain for the producer! His style of working has been like that from his Gentlemandays and all big banners had to grin and bear it.
Shankar is perhaps the most successful commercial film director in India. He has an awesome strike rate of nearly 100 percent at the box-office; all his films have made money for its producers. In a career spanning 14 years he has directed only 7 films in Tamil which literally means a film every two years. It clearly shows the man's sincerity, passion and dedication to his work.
For Shankar,Sivajiis special, as it was his dream to do a film with Rajnikanth. A few years back he had written the Muthalvan script keeping the superstar in mind. As a creator he visualizes each and every scene and is particular that what he has in mind be put on celluloid. It is a tight rope walk as Sivaji is concerned, as it is a tough job to balance what his script demands and the superstar's screen image plus the huge expectations from his fans. Actually Shankar has completed the entire shoot of the talkie portion and five songs of the film in 13 months, which is very fast by his standards.
After all, at the end of the day it is a Shankar film, and there is a method in his making of the mega budget movie. The onus is on him to make it a blockbuster, and it is not fair to hurry him up. After waiting patiently all these months, a few more weeks to watch Sivaji does not make much difference!

IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, March 06, 2007]

The D-day is fast approaching. With just a few days left for the release of Tamil cinema's much awaited magnum opus Sivaji, all efforts are reportedly on by Shankar and his team to get the trailer released at the earliest.

According to unconfirmed sources, Shankar is planning for the release of Sivaji audio on 20 March followed by the release of the movie's trailer.

Sources reveal that the trailer would be released only in cinema halls (where Sivaji would be screened) and based on the response from the audiences, it would be telecast in television channels and internet.

Since director Shankar and producers AVM Saravanan and MS Guhan still maintain stoic silence about the movie, these reports could not be confirmed.

Various sections of the media have been speculating a lot about the movie. However, Shankar, the man behind the project, has chosen to remain silent. He is among the rare breed of directors, who lets his films do all the talking.

All said, Sivaji is the word uttered by Rajini's fans all over the State. Expectations are running high and at several places posters wishing 'their favourite star' all the best are displayed.

With names like AVM, Shankar, Rajinikanth and Rahman coming together, a sense of anxiety prevails in every film-goer��s mind to see the film at the earliest.

'Sivaji' is not for sale - AVM's decision
- 07.03.2007
Buying a Rajini film is like laying hand on a gold mine and the same can be said of Rajini's film 'Sivaji' too.
After many years, AVM is producing 'Sivaji' with Rajini in the lead. Naturally rumours abound about various elements of the film.

Though the production unit safeguards every aspect of the film, some gossip or other about the film makes its way into the press every day. Now that work has started on the post production, some news or other about 'Sivaji' release makes the rounds in Kodambakkam.

One rumour has it that Sun TV has offered 100 crores for 'Sivaji' release rights and a cell phone company has topped that offer.

Another source has it that AVM originally wanted to sell the rights to an outside company but not getting the expected price, AVM Saravanan has decided to release the film himself.

Whatever be the case, it is expected that 'Sivaji' will earn a minimum of 100 crores

This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

March 12, 2007

International rights

Aynkaran International is an NRI company based in the UK. The company earlier eyed the audio rights of the movie and it is reported that Aynkaran is still in the prospective list of agencies that could bag the money spinning audio rights of Sivaji. If this happened, Sivaji would prove to be a double delight for the company.

Opinions

Astonished by the rates, North American trade analyst, Prityush Jain told Behindwoods (US) correspondent that the rates are inconceivable for a Tamil movie. �Even Hindi movies are not sold at these rates. The rates are twice as high compared to the earlier Rajini movie�, he stated.

�Though it could be a risk at this cost, Rajini � Shankar � A.R. Rahman team has managed to churn out huge expectations among the Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi

speaking communities as well apart from the Tamil speaking lot. This combination is sure to give a big opening for the movie overseas too�, Jain added. �Besides, the word-of-mouth phenomenon seems to work wonders for Sivaji�, he deemed.

Producer of Sivaji � speaks out and speaks loud

March 13, 2007

When it comes to a hot shot project that the director is trying to keep under wraps, rumors abound. Can't blame the director for wanting secrecy and can't blame the fans for wanting to know more.

So whom to blame, the producers of the most awaited movie of the year, Sivaji or the media ? They say the media have been fueling false news about the movie. For example, the producers say that the media reported that the movie was sold for a whopping 3.1 crores in Kerala while it was actually sold for 2.6 crores.

In Andhra Pradesh, the movie was sold for 8 crores but the media reported it as having been sold for 16 crores. Also, the distribution rights abroad were reported to have been sold to a single person, but the producers emphatically say a big NO.

They are not interested in selling it to one person. The producer and the director also clarified that they are working hard to release the movie on Tamil New Year's day.

Shivaji Audio Launch on March 20

The audio of much awaited Shivaji will be launched on March 20, sources of AVM studios confirmed unofficially. However Director Shankar is giving his final touches to the Trailer of the film and the same will be released in a day or two. Sources revealed that the trailer will be released only in theaters first and would later be telecast on television channels and the Internet. When we approached the producers AVM Saravanan and MS Guhan, they maintained a strict silence about the movie. But MS Guhan hinted that the audio release might be in the last week of March after the release of its trailer. But there is no response from the director.

This is the main reason why so little is known about the movie and its release. It is widely beleived tha he intends to raise hypw about the film by keeping his silence. There are 16 theaters which are staking their claims to screen Shivaji in the City. Among them Inox, Sathyam, Mayajal, Abirami, Udayam, Brinda, Albert, Bharat and Rohini complexes are already confirmed to screen Shivaji, Apart from this, there are more than 40 theaters queued for the same from the outskirts. The premiere of the movie would be held in Sthyam Theatre and Inox, a day before the release of the film.

Sivaji: The expectations soar
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 14, 2007]

With just a month left for the release of Sivaji, expectations among film-buffs are on the rise.

One of the big-budgeted movies in the Tamil film industry, Sivaji has been making news since the day the project was announced, for it brings together big names like Rajinikanth, Shankar, AVM and AR Rahman.

Tentatively planned for a release this Tamil New Year's day, the excitement and hype now surrounds the audio of Sivaji.

Sources close to AVM say that the audio launch would be a low-key affair. AR Rahman joins hands with Rajini after Baba.

Fans of Rajinikanth are eagerly waiting for the day, to go and grab the audio cassettes.

dont know if this is true or not.. got it in a mail..

All the ratings are IMHO....

1) Ore Oru Suriyan Pole - 4:48 (SPB, Blaaze) = 8/10
This is the intro song for Rajni. The unique instrumentation at the beginning is very catchy. The mass + class will enjoy this. The kids voice in the saranam is very apt, the voice sounds like the boy from Yeh Tara (but no credits though!) The final punch is the 2 liner from Super Star himself at the end with that drum beats that we have never heard before!..... Super Stars are back! (ARR + Rajni)

2) Un Vizhigalil - 5:30 (Unni Krishnan, Shreya Goshal) = 9.5/10
One of the most hummable tune of the year! The tune instantly sticks to your mind. In fact the interlude is repeated softly in Grahana Tinggal song. The overlapping of Unni Krishnan and Shreya's line was great and shows the best of ARR!

3) Grahana Tinggal - 4:24 (Karthik) = 8.5/10
A rustic, and sad song. Probably featured when Rajni's character is going through a rough patch. Karthik simply gave his best in this song. The energy was evident in his voice, while the backing does what it suppose to do, TO BE AT THE BACK!. The interlude is great, as ARR used the smae interlude from Un Vizhigalil (slower tempo) with added separate tune played in Maestro's old pal, PAN FLUTE!

4) Chor Chor - 5:49 (Tippu, Harini, Sujatha, Febi & MSV) = 9.8/10
This is a group event song I believe. All the voices are wonderful, perfect extraction from ARR. MSV's rustic rendition of 2 liners every now and then are awesome. It just shows the depth of imagination of ARR. This song will be played in all weddings, birthday and major functions after this. Basically the song is lead by Tippu & Harini with the others teases them throughout the song. It starts with Hindi Chor Chor and it stops with hindi there. Wonderful lyrics by Vaali!

5) Instrumental of Grahana Tinggal - 2:34 = 8/10
The instrumental sounds really good, but this time the backing that took the back stage comes forward as a result, you get heavy beats! The mandolin like sounds throughtout the song is really haunting!

6) Tittam ittupaar - 4: 36 (ARR) = 10/10
Whats a Rajni movie without motivational song. You ask for it, and you get the best from Maestro! 'Tittam ittupaar, atthai vattam ittupaar' has some good lyrics and it's really sounds good and sticks to you. It is best comparable with Vazhkaiyil 1000 tadaikal from Padayappa

7) Theme Music - 2:12
Awesome! the beat, tempo, raaga(softly added only comes forward with good stereo sounds system though!) and its couple of verses of Sanskrit! WOW WOW WOW!.....

Overal, the album is sure chartbuster! i would give it a 9/10 as an album rating. Even when I am writing this review I have already heard the songs being aired on OLI (Singapore radio!)....

All eyes on Rahman now
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, March 17, 2007]

The audio of Sivaji would be out soon. And AR Rahman is the centre of all attraction in Kollywood now.

The Rajinikanth starrer has attracted enough attraction. With just a week left for the audio to be released, music-lovers are eagerly awaiting to hear the songs of Sivaji.

Rahman has lent his voice for Rajinikanth for one of the songs in the album. It is reportedly a romantic duet.

Meanwhile, the ace music composer's hands are full for the next one year.

Rahman is composing for Azhagiya Tamizh Magan and Chakkarakatti in Tamil.

Asked about rumors that he would bid bye to Tamil and concentrate on Hindi and world music, Rahman says, �My roots are here. I gained fame from here. I want to stay here and entertain people.�

Rahman is also scoring music for Jodha Akbar featuring Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya and The Golden Age with Cate Blanchett and Clive Owen. The Scottish composer Craig Armstrong joins Rahman for the project.

Yup reggae or more popular R and B...knowing ARR's mastery of rhythms especially dance rhythms in his songs..this should be one rocking song for the youths and rajini/ARR/music fans alike...the only thing im worried about is the picturisation which has to be very tricky considering that the superstar is not a avid dancer. BTW i have to mention that the starting loop/music that plays through just makes me wonder if ARR had asked 50 Cents to compose a song
From: baba88 on Mon Mar 19 2:27:34 2007. [Full View]

hey guys, i don't think that the sample bit is from the original song. I can clearly hear out that it has been made on the computer with an usual Musik Program. So don't worry, the original song will have more Power beats and bass. The tune is the same but the instruments and effects will be different. You know A.R.Rahman he would never make such simple beat and that for a Rajini/Shankar movie. And I listened to the leaked video clips from spain. There they danced to the sunlight song. You can hear the power there that is not in the sample bit. So wait and see

The movie with musical score by AR Rahman features Rajinikanth and Shreya in the lead roles and is directed by Shankar.

A press release said that the audio would be marketed by AVM Music. This Rajinikanth starrer has attracted enough attraction already and as each day passes, the curiosity surrounding the film is only growing abounds.

Music-lovers are eagerly awaiting to hear the songs of Sivaji.

Sivaji audio release date announced

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

March 19, 2007

This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

The wait for all Rajini and Rahman fans is over. Sources state that the audio of Sivaji the most awaited movie in Kollywood would hit the stands on April 4th. Fans can get a copy of the original audio cassette and CDs from music stores from April 4th. Reports from Music world suggest that there is a growing enquiry on the release of the audio and there are also requests for advance reservation on the CDs. The trio of A R Rahman, Rajinikanth and Shankar coming together has raised the expectation of the public. According to sources, there is no formal audio release function arranged as of now. It is said that to accommodate three of the biggest stars in the Industry is not the easiest things to do. It is planned to have a small in house ceremony within AVM. The audio is also getting released under the AVM banner. Come April 4th the music showrooms would be flooded by fans to get their hands on Sivaji audio.

From: MADDY on Mon Mar 19 10:03:36 2007.

From Rajinifans yahoo group:

Quote:

Ofcourse, I admit the fact that this 40sec sample is from the movie
Sivaji (This time around the fourms have something really from Sivaji,
and not a fake one). But we can expect some suprise when the album is
out. According to the intial reports, this was the song that was
composed by ARR with his laptop. The song was composed tentatively for
the shoot to go ahead on time. It was also said in the report that ARR
was asked to work on it with some more additional programming. So, I
feel that this sample is the tentatively made piece and not the final
output. Maybe, I could be wrong also.

so i wud request all our ARR fans to stay calm and not react to comments on this sample by anyone...........it surely isnt a full blooded ARR song.....trust me Very Happy

we will wait for the full songs to be released on april 4, buy the original CDs,listen to it on our systems and then have a "go" at the detractors Evil or Very Mad

is a Rajini and IR fan allowed here?

Listened to the sahara song...its ennavale ennavale with new combination of taalams for the beats and a soothing flute intro packed in a african rhythm..style that is. Very hindustanish after that and the carnatic percussions coming towards the end is a delight....i am really hooked onto the song goodness me

Va Ji Vaji Shivaji seems to be more like a heroine showing her interest in the hero rather than a intro song..something like baba kichi tha kichi tha..nice punjabi beats with some melodious touches along the way...interesting flavour though

Already mentioned about sunlight..its sure aimed for youths...and certainly a club/party like song...can imagine 50cents being picturised for this song...ARR in the r and b mode..weird but interesting as well

According to earlier information, the opening song in sivaji would feature nayantara. There was a mention about ARR using a lot of traditional instruments in this song, so I guess that should be a folk number. ARR also mentioned in one of his recent interviews that he has sung a duet in Sivaji. So, these are 2 more songs we can look foward to.

I can only hope that this is the bottom 3 of the album. None of the songs stand out. Choice of singers is lousy for a Rajni film. Vaa ji is medicore. Sahana fares slightly better,the tune is unimpressive. why is Udit still singing? Oru koodai starts off promisingly,but doesnt keep up the promise beyond the first minute.

15 days of songs, dance and Rajini
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/mar-07-03/21-03-07-sivaji.html

While talking to Behindwoods correspondent about the climax song of Sivaji, its choreographer Raghava Lawrence vouches that it will be the talk of the town for some time to come. The song sequence has been reportedly shot for fifteen days. He says that this climax song will certainly be the highlight of the film.

As per this talented dance master, director Shankar had given him the complete freedom regarding the dance steps for this last song in the film.

"Superstar has showcased his stylish movements in this number and being a natural dancer that he is, has performed in a remarkable fashion", Lawrence reports. He also recalls with amusement an interesting anecdote in connection with this scene. During the shooting of the climax song, Lawrence flummoxed by Rajni's charisma, had whistled loudly forgetting himself. He had to be brought back to reality by director Shankar's call. When a seasoned choreographer like Lawrence himself was stumped by super star's dance movements, need we say about others...?

'Sivaji' audio launch on March 26
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, March 21, 2007]

The bilingual film from the AVM Productions, 'Sivaji', directed by Shankar with Rajanikanth and Shriya in the lead had completed shooting and other formalities both in Telugu and Tamil languages.

This heavy budget film has music from AR Rahman.

The production unit is planning to celebrate the audio release function also on a grand scale in Chennai on March 26.

Suman is playing a negative role in this movie, while Big B Amitabh Bachchan is appearing in a very good guest role.

After completing all the formalities, the producers are planning to release the film on April 14.

It may be recalled here tgat Bellamkonda Suresh had bagged the Telugu dubbing rights of 'Sivaji'

Exclusive - Click here for Sivaji songs

By Behindwoods Editorial Team (U.S.A)

This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

March 22, 2007

This is piracy at its peak. A team of dedicated technicians work their hearts out to bring the best music, just to find their creations released online even before the official launch. Yes, we are talking about Sivaji, Superstar Rajinikanth�s magnum opus under the direction of Shankar and the music of A.R.Rahman.

The audio of this most awaited movie was all set to be released on April 4th with a small in house ceremony at AVM. But the online pirates had a different plan. The full length versions of three out of the proposed six songs were illegally released by an UK website in the early hours of 22nd of March.

�Oru Koodai Sunlight, Oru Koodai Moonlight�, ala the style of American rapper 50 cents, �Vaa Vaa Sivaji�, a peppy number by Hariharan-Sadana Sargam combination and �Sahana Saaral�, a trade mark Rahman melody, sung by Udit Narayanan, are the three songs for which the full length mp3 tracks have been released.

March 22nd 2007, will be a Black Thursday for Shankar and his crew, who have been working day in and day out to get the movie ready for the big World wide release on April 14th. They will be mighty shocked with this news of songs leaking out online, or on the contrary, were they already prepared for this.

Mp3 leakage is not something new to Shankar and Rahman. Their earlier venture, Boys had met with the same fate with songs hitting the Information Highway two days before the official launch. Even in the case of Sivaji, a 40 sec clip of �Oru Koodai Sunlight� was doing the rounds online much before this release of the full length version.

Rahman who has been raising his voice in support of royalty for musicians might be taken a back by this development. No one is sure about the source of this leakage as yet. The processing lab, someone in the maestro�s team or a production crew member, anyone can be responsible for this bad doing. It would also be interesting to see if the production house, AVM files an official complaint with the Cyber Crime Police.

In the meantime, expectations among Rajini and Rahman fans is at an all time high for the audio to hit the stands on April 4th. Reports from Music world, a music outlet in Chennai, suggest that there is a growing enquiry on the release of the audio and there are also requests for advance reservation on the CDs. The audio is getting released under the AVM banner.

Piracy or no piracy, come April 4th, the music showrooms would be flooded by fans to get their hands on Sivaji audio.

"Oru Koodai Sunlight" is "Oru Koadai Crab!!!"

Sahara is a song by a composer lost in melody search.

Only one word to describe the situation: "Kavutthuttaan!!!"

The audio launch delay is now clearly obvious. They don't want these songs to cause a dent in the box office chances for the movie. That is exactly why they have to release it just before the movie.

Now it is all up to Rajini alone to carry the movie through....a big disappointment for Rajini and I suppose his fans too. Hopefully movie doesn't bomb like Baba, which is also partly due to courtesy (not solely) of ARR.

Response to my (p)review (http://itwofs.com/milliblog/2007/03/21/sivaji-tamil-a-r-rahman-sneak-preview/) of Sivaji's 3 leaked tracks, from Shafeeq of Media Studio!

***
Karthik,

Inspections are on how it has leaked� But we are sure that it has come out from the sets. All the songs are scratches� The final mixing is nowhere near to these.

Esplly on the Sunlight song sung by Shaggy, Blaaze and Tanvi; what is available on net is just a scratch piece for shooting. And Sahana song is sung A.R himself on the final version with Chinmayi. We have one more brilliant number called �Day light dude� which is the opening song sung by Rappers from US.
We have a Song recorded with the voice of Rajinikanth Sir and Drums kit played by Siva Sir which is interesting, in the movie. Please don�t post your opinions and underestimate the soundtrack now it now. Its does enhance the visuals on screen quite brilliantly and wait for the moment to catch it on 70 mm.

Now the only thing that worries me is this Shafeeq didn't talk about any intro song by SPB. So probably the US rappers song is going to be the intro.

I hope Rajini fans will be able to accept that.

Guys I think the release date was postponed because of this piracy problem. Maybe Rahman is changing a few things so the tracks r still fresh because Shankar never releases songs like 10 days before hte movie. So I think that is the problem. I initially didnt like vaa ji but now, god damn its custom made for rajini and the best thing is it has the Rahman trademark all over it.

Director Shankar struck with Panic

A spanking Hot News in Kollywood kicked off fresh conflict between big shots. We already aware that most awaited film Sivaji Audio Release is going to take place on 4th of April. But before the official release, some underground Websites with some sort of influence they released three songs from the film Sivaji on the net.

After hearing the news Shankar-AVM-A.R Rehman struck with a panic. And they can�t able believe the truth, at the same for this happening both Shankar & AVM pointing out Finger at A.R Rehman, who tuned music for the film Sivaji. Besides, Shankar approached City Crime branch to find out the culprit, but already the Music was in the air, this is a great set back to Sivaji team who worked hard to bring the film with flying colors now wondering with lot of mystification.

And we had not aware of Rajnikanth�s reaction to this incident which will hamper Sivaji�s release. But, the fresh Conflict between Director Shankar and A.R Rehman has to be carefully handle, otherwise it will lead to another way and film release will be at stake. Reliable sources close to Kodambakkam says that full original audio tracks has been dispatched to Ayngaran International for overseas distribution and marketing all over the world. So their can be many chances of leakage from them.

Anyway we stand for No Piracy Slogan.

According to 1 report, it seems Shanker has plans to have few songs
(maybe appearing in the audio) and scenes that will not be a part of
the movie. They will be used for promotion of the audio-movie and give
a different idea about the final output. Their intensions are to
suprise the fans when the hear the actual audio and watch the actual
movie. If my calculations are correct then I feel that these 3 tracks
have been deliberately released by AVM & Co to make the fans April(4)
fools. If my calculations are wrong then it AVM & Co who are going to
be April fools.

Background of Sivaji audio release in the net

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

March 23, 2007

This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com

Heated debates are going on currently in the film chambers and in producer's council regarding the unauthorized release of audio of Sivaji in the net. As per Kollywood circles, the complete responsibility of audio of the film was handed over to A R Rahman. Hence in a situation like this, the industry is totally taken aback by the release of songs in the net.

Understandably neither AVM nor Shankar has broached this topic with Isai Puyal till date.

Meanwhile an overseas fan has reportedly called lyricist Vairamuthu and has questioned him if he had written the lines "Poombaavai aambal aambal, punnagaiyo mavval mavval". The fan has alleged to have asked kavignar to clarify the meaning of these lines. It looks like the entire industry is shocked by this unauthorized entry of audio into online portals.

actually its a pretty serious thing if songs had been indeed leaked.......it has to be thoroughly investigated.......

my possible guesses on places of leak:

1. ARR's studio

- it cud have been possible case of some of his assistants or someone stealing the o/p and leaking it to the outside world.....if thats the case then producer,audio rights owner(AVM in both cases) can issue crippling cases against ARR for this carelessness......

....but one hope is that, ARR's studio is like FBI headQ....even his wife and children are not allowed inside

2. Shooting spot: they say that a copy of the songs was sent by ARR for shooting purposes.........this might have been tapped somewhere in between or recorded in the shooting spot only......but audio is quite clear @192kbps, so this is also a remote chance....
3. CD mastering place: this is my major doubt..........heres where the CDs are mastered and the songs are put into the CDs........so im pretty sure, that if there is a leak, then it has to be here........in this case, AVM is again to be blamed as its their own co. producing the CDs.......

or it cud be a cheap gimmick by AVM or Shankar to increase curiosity......but neither AVM nor ARR wud agree to such low quality tricks.....

so really worried abt this leakeage......but songs wise, yes, it has been travelling thick and fast in all our company mailboxes.......there was a flurry of mails reg shivaji release and alleged leakage......also, i heard from one of our hubbers that their office guys have already started humming "sunlight,moonlight".....

i have very little doubt that this album will be a blockbuster.......btw, loved this line from oru koodai

More info Sivaji songs available on net
IndiaGlitz [Friday, March 23, 2007]

The Kollywood was struck with surprise when few websites carried the full version of three songs from Sivaji much before its official launch. The audio of this most awaited movie was all set to be released on 4 April.

Reports indicate that songs were illegally released by an UK based website in the early hours of Thursday. However Media Studios are quick to clarify on the songs available on the net.

A hand out issued by them in a blog read, 'inspections are on how it has leaked. But we are sure that it has come out from the sets. All the songs are scratches. The final mixing is nowhere near to these. Especially on the Sunlight song sung by Shaggy, Blaaze and Tanvi; what is available on net is just a scratch piece for shooting. And Sahana song is sung A R himself on the final version with Chinmayi.

We have one more brilliant number called Day light dude, which is the opening song sung by Rappers from US. We have a song recorded with the voice of Rajinikanth and Drums kit played by Siva which is interesting, in the movie.'

my possible guesses on places of leak:

1. ARR's studio Shaking With Fear

I agree, possible but not likely.

Quote:

Entirely possible. How hard is it to hook up a laptop or a MiniDisc or DAT recorder and somehow steal the tracks? But would not these leaks have happened with other albums, ARR or non-ARR?

3. CD mastering place: this is my major doubt..........heres where the CDs are mastered and the songs are put into the CDs........so im pretty sure, that if there is a leak, then it has to be here........in this case, AVM is again to be blamed as its their own co. producing the CDs.......

The leaked tunes were scratch tracks, and the CD pressing plant would only get the final tunes. Mastering is done in ARR's studio.

Quote:

I don't know if ARR had any say in the matter. He provides the filmmakers with scratch tracks and if Shankar/AVM release them there is nothing he can do about it. But I am guessing this "leak" was a publicity stunt. Supposedly the Boys and Anniyan tracks were leaked, though I do not recall this.

I gotta bet this is a cheap publicity gimmick. It always happens for Shankar's movies but then that is not the point. The point here is that, this is just the scratch tracks and there definitely wouldnt be a problem by leaking. It only raises curiosity among the public, which by then AVM could deny its the original songs and then redirecting the public's interest towards the original release. Which in return would definitely create a euphoria for its purchases.

Come one, lets look back to what have happened previously during the filming of Shivaji.

Unauthorized release of images to the public when they were gung-ho about their security at the shooting spot? Doesn't it sound foolish? Look at the images again, it was so well taken that the person has to be on the spot to start snapping. If this guy would have taken the shots at shooting spot, wouldn't they disallow for such thing in the first place? Okay, now there's also possibilities of saying it might have done secretly but whatever it could be, the jury is out.

Second thing, lets recall what happened during the days of Chandramukhi or for the matter any Mani Ratnam's movies. I don't think anyone would have heard a sneak preview of the album prior to the release date of the audio. And i am sure all of us are used to hearing that Mani Ratnam has a very tight security spot for his shooting, and so is any Rajini movies. But why does this always happened with Shankar's movies, despite all the security in the world given to his shooting spot. His Boys, Anniyan and now Shivaji. Consequently, the audio sales skyrocketed once it was out in stores.

My assumption could be wrong, but nevertheless for me being so much in the public relations field, I'd got a gut feeling this might be how they are putting good use of sensationalism. Create curiosity and they will buy!

Dear Rahmaniacs,

Since 1992, Our ARR has been making history in several ways.
Now Sivaji being so sensational, can we join hands in making this a
history?

What we could do to make it a history? Its the sales of Original
Audio CDs and cassettes. Let's all join hands and turn to
be "Marketing Professionals" of the audio.

I read somewhere, the best way of marketing a product to reach
people is "Word of mouth". Here is how we do....

1. Each one of us will buy a original copy of the audio CD /
Cassette.
2. Try not to lend to friends /relatives to listen to it. Rather,
encourage them to buy one.
3. Lets spread the word and market it to our friends, relatives to
buy the original.
4. Gift Sivaji original CDs to friends / relatives...

Comon guys, lets join hands and do it for our "Messiah of Music".

I would request, people with music background to analyze the songs,
the use of ragas, instruments, its specialties and post it to the
group. And let's use those facts to encourage our friends and let
them know how special it is to buy a new one.

Please forward it to other Rahman groups that you are a member of.

For those in US, please visit http://www.sivajiusa.com/sivaji/ to
book your audio CD, and tickets for the movie.

Hope the Rahman fans community joins me to make a history.

LETS SPREAD THE WORD GUYS, thats the way we show our love to our ARR.

Long live ARR,

Bergin.

Hi guys...

I just read a lot of people commenting that the songs which have leaked are not going to be a part of the Final Audio CD. But i just got to know from somebody who works with ARR that these are the songs from the Audio CD. I heard that they would have done some more fine tuning and mixing of the songs for the Audio CD. But it is NOT going to be very different.
So expect the same songs on the CD. The small changes might be unnoticeable.
And i also heard that the songs have been primarily leaked from some Canadian website.

Songs are awsome. But I would like to discuss the minus points in the songs. So that arr wont do the same mistakes again in the future.

1 - Sunlight - Nothing to complain.. eventhough it has some english lyrics cant find any faults in the song or the singers

2- Sahana - Beautiful song. Female singer did her part. She got a beautiful voice (dont know who was that). But that Udit Narayan totaly spoilt the song. He should just sing songs like bangra and thaiya thaiya hummings. Arr should have sung the song. If not Vijey yesudas, Tippu, Karthick, unni krishnan or Hariharan should have sung the song. It would have been a soulfull song then. But at the moment udit spoilt it.

3 - Vaa ji shivaji - Otheway around. Hariharan did his part. But that female singer spoilt the song.

Please ARR choose ur singers carefully. Udit mybe doing well for hindi songs. but not doing good job for tamil songs.
He is actualy singing abasswaram. Plus his tamil sakika mudiyala.

லீக் ஆன சிவாஜி பாட்டு

சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்த்தின் சிவாஜி படத்தின் பாடல்கள் வெளியாகி பெரும் பரபரப்பை ஏற்படுத்தியுள்ளது. சிவாஜி படப் பாடல்கள், காட்சிகளோடு, எம்பி 3 வடிவில் இணையதளங்களில் சக்கைப் போடு போட ஆரம்பித்துள்ளது.

சிவாஜி படம் குறித்து ஆரம்பத்திலிருந்தே ஏகப்பட்ட எதிர்பார்ப்புகள், பரபரப்புகள், சர்ச்சைகள். படப்பிடிப்பு நடந்து கொண்டிருந்தபோதே ரஜினி சம்பந்தப்பட்ட புகைப்படங்கள் வெளியாகி சர்ச்சைையக் கிளப்பின. கடுப்பான ஷங்கர், படப்பிடிப்பை படு ரகசியமாக நடத்தி வந்தார்.

இடையே புதுப் பரபரப்பு கிளம்பியது. சிவாஜி பட டிவிடி வெளியாகி விட்டதுதான் அந்த பரபரப்பு. இந்த செய்தியை நாம் முன்பே முதன் முதலில் தெரிவித்திருந்தோம். பிளாட்பாரத்தில் போட்டு சிவாஜி டிவிடியை விற்கிறார்கள் என்று கூறப்பட்டது.

சிவாஜி படத்தின் பாடல் வெளியீடு ஏப்ரல் 4ம் தேதி நடைபெறவுள்ளது. ஆனால் அதற்குள் எம்.பி 3 வெளியாகி விட்டதாம், அத்ேதாடு பாடல்கள் அனைத்துமே காட்சிகளோடு வெளியாகி இணையதளங்களில் சக்கை போடு போடுகிறது.

படத்தில் இடம் பெற்றுள்ள 6 பாடல்களில் 3 பாடல்கள், முழுக் காட்சிகளோடு அட்டகாசமாக வெளியாகியுள்ளது. இங்கிலாந்திருந்து நடத்தப்படும் ஒரு இணையதளத்தில் 22ம் தேதி அதிகாலை முதல் இந்தப் பாடல்கள் அந்த இணையதளத்தில் இடம்பெற்றுள்ளன.

ஒரு கூடை சன்லைட், ஒரு கூடை மூன்லைட், வா வா சிவாஜி, சஹானா சாரல் ஆகிய அந்த மூன்று பாடல்களும் படு சூப்பராக வந்துள்ளன. சன்லைட், மூன்லைட் பாடலில் அமெரிக்க டான்ஸர்கள் ஆடியுள்ளனர்.

வா வா சிவாஜி பாடலை ஹரிஹரன்-சாதனா சர்கம் பாடியுள்ளனர். சஹானா சாரல் பாடலை உதித் நாராயணன் பாடியுள்ளார். மூன்று பாடல்களுமே ரஹ்மான் பாணி டச்சிங்கில் படு கலக்கலாக வந்துள்ளன.

சிவாஜி பாடல் வெளியாகி விட்ட செய்தி நிச்சயம் ஷங்கர் அன் கோவுக்கு சந்தோஷமானதாக இருக்க முடியாது. பெரும் அதிர்ச்சியூட்டும் விஷயமாகவே இருக்கும்.

படம் குறித்த தகவல்களையே படு பத்திரமாக பாதுகாத்து வரும் ஷங்கர், 3 பாடல்கள் எப்படி வெளியானது என்பது ெபரும் குழப்பமாக இருக்கும்.

ஷங்கரின் முந்தைய படமான பாய்ஸ் படத்திற்கும் இதே கதிதான் நேர்ந்தது. அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக பாடல் வெளியிடும் முன்பே பாய்ஸ் பாடல் வெளியாகி விட்டது.

இப்போது சிவாஜி படப் பாடல் வெளியான விவகாரத்தில் உள்ளுக்குள்ளேயயேதான் யாரோ லீக் செய்திருக்க வேண்டும் எனக் கருதப்படுகிறது.

பாடல் பதிவுக் கூடத்திலிருந்தோ அல்லது ரஹ்மானின் இசைக் குழுவிலிருந்து சிலரோதான் இதற்குக் காரணமாக இருக்க முடியும் என சந்தேகிக்கப்படுகிறது. இந்த பாடல் லீக் குறித்து போலீஸில் ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனம் புகார் கொடுக்குமோ என்ற எதிர்பார்ப்பும் எழுந்துள்ளது.

இதுகுறித்து ஏவி.எம். சரவணனிடம் நாம் கேட்ேபாது, கருத்து கூற மறுத்து விட்டார்.

அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக ரிலீஸாகும் முன்பே திருட்டுத்தனமாக மூன்று பாடல்களை உருவி இணையதளத்தில் உலவ விட்டு விட்டனர். அதேபோல படத்தையும் முன்கூட்டியே காணும் வாய்ப்பையும் மறுத்து விட முடியாது

சிவாஜி பாட்டு லீக்: ரஹ்மான் மீது ஷங்கர் டவுட்?

சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்த்தின் சிவாஜி படத்தின் பாடல்கள் வெளியாகி பெரும் பரபரப்பை ஏற்படுத்தியுள்ளது. சிவாஜி படப் பாடல்கள், காட்சிகளோடு, எம்பி 3 வடிவில் இணையதளங்களில் சக்கைப் போடு போட ஆரம்பித்துள்ளது.

சிவாஜி படத்தின் 3 சூப்பர் ஹிட் பாடல்கள், அதிகாரப்பூர்வ ரிலீஸுக்கு முன்பே லீக் ஆகி இணைய தளத்தில் வெளியான விவகாரத்தில் படத்தின் இசையமைப்பாளர் ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் மீது இயக்குநர் ஷங்கர் சந்தேகப்படுகிறாராம்.

ஏண்டா இந்தப் படத்தைத் தயாரித்தோம் என்று ஏவி.எம். சரவணன் நொந்து போகும் அளவுக்கு சிவாஜி பல தலைவலிகளைக் கொடுத்து வருகிறது. படத்தின் ஸ்டில்கள் குண்டக்க மண்டக்க வெளியாகி முதலில் டென்ஷன் கொடுத்தது.

அடுத்து படத்தின் விற்பனை தொடர்பாக சகட்டு மேனிக்குத் தகவல்கள் வெளியாகி சரவணனை டென்ஷன்படுத்தியது. இப்போது சிவாஜி படத்தின் 3 பாடல்கள் எம்.பி.3 வடிவில் வெளியாகி கலக்கி எடுத்துள்ளது.

பாடல்கள் அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக ரிலீஸாகும் முன்பே 3 பாடல்கள் வெளியாகி விட்டது பெரும் பரபரப்பையும் அதிர்ச்சியையும் ஏற்படுத்தியுள்ளது. யார் இதற்கு காரணம், ஹூ இஸ் தி பிளாக் ஷீப் என்ற கேள்வி ஏவி.எம். ஸ்டூடியோவுக்குள் முட்டி மோதி எக்கோ அடித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது.

தற்போது இதில் ஒரு சுவாரஸ்யமான திருப்பம் ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது. இசையமைப்பாளர் ரஹ்மானும் அவரது உதவியாளர்களும்தான் பாடல் வெளியானதற்கு முக்கியக் காரணம் என இயக்குநர் ஷங்கர் கூறியுள்ளாராம்.

ஆனால் இதுகுறித்து ஷங்கரோ அல்லது சரவணனோ, ரஹ்மானிடம் எதுவும் பேசவில்லையாம். ஆனால் இந்த விவகாரம் குறித்து குற்றவாளி யார் என்பதைக் கண்டறியுமாறு சென்னை காவல்துறையை அணுகியுள்ளதாக கூறப்படுகிறது.

ரஹ்மான் மீது ஷங்கருக்கு சந்தேகம் கிளம்பியுள்ளது, திரையலகில் பரபரப்பை ஏற்படுத்தியுள்ளது. இதை ஜாக்கிரதையாக கையாள ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனம் முடிவு செய்துள்ளதாம். இல்லாவிட்டால் வேறு பாதையில் பிரச்சினை திசை மாறி விடுமோ என்று அது அஞ்சுகிறது.

இன்னொரு கோணத்திலும் இந்த லீக் விவகாரம் அலசப்படுகிறது. அதாவது படத்தின் பாடல் ரிலீஸ் தேதியை அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக ஏவி.எம். நிறுவனம் அறிவித்தவுடன், உலகளாவிய வெளிநாட்டு ரிலீஸ் உரிமையை வாங்கியுள்ள ஐங்கரன் இன்டர்நேஷனல் நிறுவனத்துக்கு ஆடியோ டிராக்குகளை அனுப்பி வைத்து விட்டனராம்.

எனவே அங்கிருந்தும் கூட பாடல்கள் லீக் ஆகியிருக்கலாம் என சந்தேகிக்கப்படுகிறதாம்.

படத்தின் பாடல்கள் முன்கூட்டியே திருட்டுத்தனமாக வெளியாகி விட்டது சிவாஜி யூனிட்டுக்கு பெரும் பின்னடைவாக கருதப்படுகிறது. இதனால் படத்துக்கு என்ன மாதிரியான பாதிப்பு ஏற்படும் என்ற பயமும் தயாரிப்பாளர் தரப்பில் நிலவுகிறது.

பாடல்கள் வெளியானது குறித்து ரஜினி கருத்து தெரிவிக்காமல் இருந்து வருகிறார்.

இந்தப் பிரச்சினை தொடர்பாக இன்னொரு ஷாக் நியூஸ் இது. கவிஞர் வைரமுத்துவை அமெரிக்காவிலிருந்து ஒருவர் போனில் தொடர்பு கொண்டுள்ளார்.

அவரிடம், நீங்கள் பூம்பாவை ஆம்பல் ஆம்பல், புன்னகையோ மையல் மையல் என எழுதியுள்ளீர்களே, அதன் அர்த்தம் என்ன, பாடல் வரிகள் ஆபாசத் தொணியில் இருக்கிறதே என்று கேட்டாராம். அவர் கூறியதைக் கேட்டதும் இந்த பாடல் உங்களுக்கு எப்படித் தெரியும் என்று வைரமுத்து ஷாக் ஆகி விட்டாராம்.

மொத்தத்தில், சிவாஜி பாடல் லீக் விவகாரம் கோலிவுட்டை பெரும் கலக்கு கலக்கி வருகிறது.

Looks like "Media Studio" Shafeeq posted an update on Milliblog

Karthik: Vijay Iyer, a close confidant of Rahman has spoken. The Shaggy connection is supposedly not true - in the Oru koodai song. It�s a Bollywood singer according to Vijay. In a terse message answering a question about Shaggy�s presence in this song, Vijay says, �nope! not true�its a bollywood singer�. So, does this piece of revelation obliterate the entire comment by Shafeeq? By the way, who is Shafeeq and what is Media Studio�all over again?

Shafeeq: I read the reactions on my comment and I can understand you all. We all know that Sivaji will be the biggest movie of Tamil Cinema history so please be calm, I can only tell you that these songs are not the final version. Especially in the Sunlight song where Mr. Rahman has used a lot of more instruments and effects. And as I said the highlight of the movie will be a song called �Daylight Dude� for that Mr Rahman has approched Timbaland and Magoo. So please wait a few days I can promise you that it�s worth.

except this part, there isn't any other interval in this it 's quite anormal

the two others song are not as good as i expected

"Sunlight" i have impression that arr cut and paste songs illogically, i hope this is no final verrsion, this song would be innvative and refreshing and be very co0lif it's not slow and have more beats

"sivaji va ji" very disapointed, i've no hope for this song it reminded me as dinesh says to Dolhan rom parasuram, i don't exepected this sort of song in shankar movie, very predictable and repetitive TUNEwhich allow to forget this song

`Sivaji' soundtrack, no longer a secret

Susan Muthalaly
CHENNAI: The soundtrack of Rajinikanth's `Sivaji' is no longer a closely guarded secret with three of the seven A.R. Rahman songs available on the Internet.
AVM Productions (the film's production company) manager K. Viswanathan said there were reportedly about 500 websites from where the songs could be downloaded.
Action awaited
The company has reported the leak to the cyber crime department and is awaiting action.
Due to this development, the movie's music may hit stores two days earlier than the original launch date of April 4.
But thanks to the talented Mr. ARR, AVM has actually recorded an increase in orders from dealers after the illegal release on the net, according to Mr. Viswanathan.
He said the response was overwhelming and that the current order figures stood at two lakh CDs and two lakh cassettes.
The songs that can be downloaded online are `Vaaji Vaaji', `Orukudai Sunlight' and `Sahaan Saaral'.

obviously, they are taking us for a ride......

......y this cheap trick??? anyways Rajini+ARR was going to break all possible records.......with shankar factor, we could confidently say it will touch the magical,impossible 5 Lakh mark........they have surely ruined their names in this bizzaire trick.......

and they are projecting ARR as the reason for this leak....

......u know y??? bcos ARR and his fans dont protest or talk outwards...so, yaaru venumnaalum enna venumnaalum sollalam.....i think, once this episode gets over, we shuld demand a apology from all these 3rd rate websites........

.........

no offence, but i prefer Udit Narayarana over ARR any day...... after the bad experience in Aaruyire - Guru.... yes... he sang well for many songs... but Love Duets r just not his type.... no offence,i like the ARR as the Human Beeing & the Maestro.. but not as a Duet Song singer.... GOSH!!!

u just wrote my mind buddy......ARR is circumspect when it comes to romantic duets......he is the king for amma and patriotic songs.....

.........also, i definitely think its udit's voice that is enhancing the value of the song...his voice is just amazing....anyways, we will realise it after ARR sings it.....

His pronunciation is atrocious. It doesn't even sound like Tamil. It sounds like some weird new language! I hope that someone else is singing it on the final version.

I don't mind the singing on Oru Koodai Sunlight because its supposed to be sung like a reggae song. I don't expect a reggae song to have absolutely correct pronunciation.

I'm a diehard ARR fan, but his choice of singers is sometimes frustrating. As much as he encourages new singers, it seems he goes out of his way to put North Indian singers with bad Tamil pronunciation in his songs when I'm sure there are perfectly good singers in Chennai itself. I don't blame the singers, since I don't expect a North Indian to quickly learn South Indian pronunciations. Its not the easiest thing for a non-native speaker.

While I got a chance to listen to the "exclusive" tracks, Rahman-sir has confirmed that those AREN'T the final versions. Sahana Pookal will be re-recorded by himself and Chinmayee (Guru's "Tere Bina" fame.) I believe "Oru Koodal Sunlight" will be re-recorded as well.

I dig "Sahana Pookal" with Udit. Say what you want about him, but at least he's on par with Shreya Goshal's prounciation. He was introduced by Rahman and he's doing a favor to the master himself.

The songs aren't Rahman's best (Guru still remains his BEST) Shankar seems to have failed this time. But my opinion may change after we get the REAL release next week.

Dragun,MIL
I was actually refraining myself from posting till the final version is out, But I guess some things are never going to change in them.

Before I even venture into the songs part, let me throw my views on RK. I am not an RK fanatic nor anybody's. But I do know after living in India and abroad that RK's movies are no longer percieved as just movies. For any tamil, each passing day before release is like expecting a harvest, a festival. Somehow TN people have showered him with the greatest affection only second to MGR. I will not bow down my head in shame if I said RK is THE definition of a superstar. No not even AB can match him.
For tamil folks watching his movies is like a festival in town and the urge to be a part of it. I see this happening ever since Baasha days. The funny thing is you dont look for complex themes. You just need RK and lots of him.
Every album of RK is bound to be a superhit irrespective of who the MD is. And the best part is every tamil expects to lipsync his songs in one form or the other. Lets not venture in the past, just take CM for ex. It could be the mediocre "Annonoda Paatu"/"Devuda" .. or the super "Ra rA". Fans all over the world/ folks sitting at the tea shops/ kids front of the TV ..want to sing with him. You dont need complexity.

Vaa Ji ..Shivaji ... Medicore composition .. just about right for RK movie. Bound to be a super hit... fans will rejoice...

Saahana.. the best so far. its a kind of growing melody. but for a RK movie????? I dont think fans want to lap up RK as a hopeless romantic... there is no peppiness in the song whatsoever.... Probably after a long time "Dum" break is also possible in an RK movie.

"Sunlight Moonlight" or whatever ... by composing this ..Shankar and team has robbed scores of fans an opportunity to mouth his lines.. this song will never go beyond the movie run. I am now doubly worried about another "Daylight dude" ... what are they tryng to get at ???
and the choice of singers??? lyrics ...??? RK-ARR-SHANKAR-VM comes up with " Pengalidam solvathu kuraivu ..Seivathu Athigam ..Seyal Veeran Nanadi"" ??? is this all you can come up with ??? For the choice of singers ARR and shankar has to take equal blame. The pronounciations are preposterous. Ironically there are lines of "Nan Pacchi tamilan " .. when the same lines are mouthed by some unknown guy who cant speak a word of it .... what was VM doing during recording when his lines were killed ??? is it the same guy who wrote " Thangame Tamizhukillai Thattupadu" ?? Shame on you VM for letting them kill Tamil.
Even its a reggae... show us ur creativity

And as somebody mentioned earlier, I pray that 3 songs presented are the bottom of the pile because it doesnt show an year's worthof effort and painfully pray that the songs are sung by somebody else.

sloshed u r 75% correct..

but u might change ur opinion after watching the movie..

sahana song shankar will do something like.. kumari from anniyan or egirikudiththaen from boyzz.. the visuals would be catchy..

Just got to see ppl slamming thalaivar for using NI singers to sing tamil songs...

personally i feel that Udit has a better pronunciation these days when compared to those 'kadhalikkum pennin' days... Sahana song has been beautifully rendered by Udit. Even i did'nt like him singing the song on my first hearing. But after listening the songs for more than 100 times as of now, i think udit is the best bet for this song...

Dragun,MIL
I was actually refraining myself from posting till the final version is out, But I guess some things are never going to change in them.

Before I even venture into the songs part, let me throw my views on RK. I am not an RK fanatic nor anybody's. But I do know after living in India and abroad that RK's movies are no longer percieved as just movies. For any tamil, each passing day before release is like expecting a harvest, a festival. Somehow TN people have showered him with the greatest affection only second to MGR. I will not bow down my head in shame if I said RK is THE definition of a superstar. No not even AB can match him.
For tamil folks watching his movies is like a festival in town and the urge to be a part of it. I see this happening ever since Baasha days. The funny thing is you dont look for complex themes. You just need RK and lots of him.
Every album of RK is bound to be a superhit irrespective of who the MD is. And the best part is every tamil expects to lipsync his songs in one form or the other. Lets not venture in the past, just take CM for ex. It could be the mediocre "Annonoda Paatu"/"Devuda" .. or the super "Ra rA". Fans all over the world/ folks sitting at the tea shops/ kids front of the TV ..want to sing with him. You dont need complexity.

Vaa Ji ..Shivaji ... Medicore composition .. just about right for RK movie. Bound to be a super hit... fans will rejoice...

Saahana.. the best so far. its a kind of growing melody. but for a RK movie????? I dont think fans want to lap up RK as a hopeless romantic... there is no peppiness in the song whatsoever.... Probably after a long time "Dum" break is also possible in an RK movie.

"Sunlight Moonlight" or whatever ... by composing this ..Shankar and team has robbed scores of fans an opportunity to mouth his lines.. this song will never go beyond the movie run. I am now doubly worried about another "Daylight dude" ... what are they tryng to get at ???
and the choice of singers??? lyrics ...??? RK-ARR-SHANKAR-VM comes up with " Pengalidam solvathu kuraivu ..Seivathu Athigam ..Seyal Veeran Nanadi"" ??? is this all you can come up with ??? For the choice of singers ARR and shankar has to take equal blame. The pronounciations are preposterous. Ironically there are lines of "Nan Pacchi tamilan " .. when the same lines are mouthed by some unknown guy who cant speak a word of it .... what was VM doing during recording when his lines were killed ??? is it the same guy who wrote " Thangame Tamizhukillai Thattupadu" ?? Shame on you VM for letting them kill Tamil.
Even its a reggae... show us ur creativity

And as somebody mentioned earlier, I pray that 3 songs presented are the bottom of the pile because it doesnt show an year's worthof effort and painfully pray that the songs are sung by somebody else.

I AGREE with Sloshed.

Dinesh and other ARR fanatics, please relax. It is only facts being mentioned about sub-standard 3 songs that we feel should have been much better for a rare Rajini movie with Shankar in the helm!

If as some of you claim, the song may grow on us after listening to 100 times, as some comedian claimed to have done, I think if anyone listen 100 times even Deva's Thirumagan songs will grow on us. This is madness and blindness.

ARR failed miserably in Muthu, accept 2 songs, then Baba, then Padaiyappa, except one song, and now he has done it like this for the most eagerly awaited and hyped Rajini movie ever.

It is just not ARR standard that we excepted for such a highly regarded movie. Disappointing is the result. The only consolation so far is for us to hope, just hope, that the other songs will be good.

Sivaji � The invasion of the American rappers

By Behindwoods Editorial Team (U.S.A)

With the technical postmortem to find the source of leakage of audio clips of Sivaji going on in full swing, the producers � AVM, might not be as well be very disappointed with the developments.

The three songs that hit the internet on March 22nd is spreading like fire, with most of the browsers from Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Kerala and across the globe already getting a glimpse of the album. Fans are just not ready to stop raving the new style of music adopted by A.R.Rahman for the Superstar. If you are one of those who thought that the songs released were the best in the album, then we have some good news. �The best is just yet to come�, says an insider who is unwilling to reveal his identity. The highlight of the album is said to be �Daylight Dude�, touted to be the intro song. There are rumors floating around, that American rappers - Timbaland and Magoo have rendered their voice for this song.

Mp3 leakage is not something new to Shankar and Rahman. Their earlier venture, Boys had met with the same fate with songs hitting the Information Highway two days before the official launch. Even in the case of Sivaji, a 40 sec clip of �Oru Koodai Sunlight� was doing the rounds online much before this release of the full length version.

The �Oru koodai Sunlight� song that was one among the three songs that were released is also rumored to have the reggae singer � Shaggy. Though there are strong similarities in the voice, there is a certain section that denies the singer to be Shaggy. Rahman has been trying to bring in foreign talent into Indian cinema music for some time now. Maryam Toller from Canada was made to sing in Guru. Nelly Furtado, the Academy Award winning Canadian sensation was also supposed to croon in Rang De Basanti, but for some reason was not able to make it.

However, A.R.Rahman and his team have not confirmed on either using Timbaland or Shaggy for any of the songs.

Another highlight song in the movie is the one that is done on Rajini�s voice and Sivamani�s drums. With speculation on the seven songs doing the rounds, the expectations for the movie�s album is already legendary. �I am not sure if Tamil audio history has seen such expectations before�, says manager at Music World, Chennai. The audio release was supposed to be preponed to March 26th, but was later withheld. Now it seems that the audio might release on April 2nd. But Sivaji-The Boss, being the very dynamic boss, the media is being made to eat the humble pie with twist and turns in every story. You aren�t sure till it really happens. The latest numbers that we were able to get officially from AVM is that 2.05 lakh CDs and 1.92 lakh cassettes have been pre-ordered so far.

The power of two Ra�s � Rajini & Rahman.

ARR can only score based on the scripts! We cant expect Alaipayuthey kinda songs in Padayappa or vice-versa... So if the samples in Sivaji are different from the songs in Muthu or Padayappa, it only means that this movie will be a very diff one for Rajini!

What padayappA songs are bad, is it

padayappA - vetRi kodi kattu, suthi suthi, minsAra kaNNA are always on my playlist and padayappA BGM is extra-ordinary. That IMO is ARR's best piece for Rajini.

Even bAbA had 3 very good songs and a fantastic rap - B to the A to the B to the A

Please do not pre-judge the compositions as mediocre. These aren't the final versions.

Hi friends!!!
Its natural tat the excitement over Shivaji songs are scaling new heights..
Let me reserve my opinions about the songs till I hear the final version..After hearing those 3 tracks,my opinions are ARR didn't do anything bad..See RK is a mass hero and I strongly believe the songs r tuned to fit in the situation.
1) Vaaji Shivaji-A perfect song..I dunno y many r not satisfied with tis song.Its a good peppy number with all commercial elements with very good youthful orchestration..This song is surely going to top the charts..No doubt about that..I dunno wat more can ARR give..I think he has given what the movie needs..
2)Sahana-Very good melody...But fades in the middle..Like all others,I too believe,ARR failed in choosing the singer..Udit is jaded and kills Tamil..Also I dunno how Udit will fit into Rajini's song(Udit's earlier song in Muthu-Kuuvaalile was very youthful number with great music)..I hope Shankar wud have picturised this song superbly..
3)Oru Kudai Sunlight-I was not satisfied with this so called scratch track..But again had to see the situation when and how this song comes..

From: music man on Tue Mar 27 13:29:25 2007. [Full View]

Regarding ARR's music for previous RK movies,its a big surprise when people say tat the music was not good..
MUTHU
1)Oruvan-One of the best RK intro song..Wat one wants more than this..
2)Thillana-One of the hit songs of that year..Excellent commercial formula hit song..
3)Kulluvallile-Another excellent song with melody interwoven thro'out..Good music(though bass riffs inspired)..
4)Vidukathaiya-Pathos song..Excellent pathos tat jelled along the movie..Was so moving tat brought out tears after Rajini's character gets betrayed in tat movie..
Movie's BGM top notch...
PADAYAPPA
1)Yen peru Padayappa-Another good intro song..Along folkish lines..Good orchestration..Simple straight forward song..Big hit song..
2)Minsara Poove-Excellent semi classical number..Best song in tat movie..Great number..Another big hit..
3)Kicku Yeruthe-Another mass number-Excellent choreography-Great lyrics..Great music..Another big hit..
4) Vetri Kodi-Not a big hit..But a good decent hit..
5) Suthi-Excellent melody..Another hit song
Come on friends!!!! Wat more RK movie needs!!!Is it not enough if a movie has 4 great hits??
BABA
Agreed this movie didn't have great music..But had decent numbers..
1)Baba Kichu-Good melody..Good music..Above average number for a RK movie..
2)Maaya-Another hit song..
3)Raajyama-Not a hit song..But people fail to see the nuances in tat song..Simple music..Great bass guitar work by Keith Peters..
4)Sakthi Kodu-Another great number but somehow didn't fit into the situation..
Are these r not hits???
Lets make our final comments after hearing the songs..ARR and Shankar won't disappoint..

From: MusicIsLife on Tue Mar 27 14:53:48 2007. [Full View]

Dinesh et all,
Music wise, it is different, will take sometime for people to catch up on it, but we should not be compromising for Udit just coz of ARR using him. My favorite singer in Hindi is still Udit, but he is atrocious in pronounciation (not that it matters ne more), ARR could have tried with Shankar Mahadevan or somebody else in Tamil with a different voice.
Secondly I am one of RK long-time fan, very eager to see different style of movie making, ARR surely blended a good one for RK (atleast with the leak-samples) fresh, and offbeat.
I would still not agree Oruvan(muthu) was the best opening, nothing beats Annamalai and Basha (not based on pure quality of music), but the uptempo, the correctness and relevance to RK introduction, and to top it all, a very significant lyric that was matched perfectly by SPB pronounciation and voice. Lot of them will disagree to this, but it is my opinion.
RK can outshadow everybody in his movie (one of the reasons why Chandramukhi was a big hit in my opinion is RK not being present for significant screen time (reels) and other characters playing in on it). It is great to see ARR and IR as only people who put their presence with uniqueness in a RK movie (rather this will be a shankar movie, ARR task is little more comfortable).
