Exclusive - Click here for Sivaji songs By Behindwoods Editorial Team (U.S.A) This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com <http://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. [Sivaji] 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. [Sivaji] "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. [Sivaji] Piracy or no piracy, come April 4th, the music showrooms would be flooded by fans to get their hands on Sivaji audio. http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-05/22-03-07-sivaj\ i.html <http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-articles/movies-05/22-03-07-siva\ ji.html>
