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

Also; use this thread to discuss this album..

Here is what i found::

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

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

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

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

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

  Okay...let me tell you this...What is the cost of Mummies...
  Should be in Millions...dollars.
  What is its story...? Fiction...from old belief..
  
  Now did you see Rudraksh?...It is the same story..fiction...from some old belief...According to me, it s a fantastic movie...but many won't agree..why..because it had poor graphics and production value...why? Because the buget was in very few crore..
  
  That is what we can make with our market...Rudraksh...close all loops in the film..it was afiction but still answered all the open questions....but it was like a comic story....well did Indians supported it? No...why? because he thought that it was a poor attempt in hollywood style film making...Is that reason correct...?Tell me.
  
  Don't compare their production value and infrastructure with ours.
  
  They still can't come with a saagarasangamam or Sankaraabharanam, or iruvar or Lagaan even if they walk with their head...mind you.

  i just want a tamil movie to win an award from the international film festivals. i hope the acclaimed directors in tamil nadu such as cheran, susi ganesan and balu mahendra or even mani rathnam will take the initiative to expose themselves to the global stage of film making. i have nuthing else to say

  I appreciate your wish. Ya its good.....But their appriciation alone should not become a critiria for judging an artist. Its okay for debates in newtfmpage but should not be taken seriously.
  
  As I feel, I was ARR to be praised by all people , west, east etc...but will not compare him with IR or other greats only on this criteria...but will definitely use this parameter as apoint of debate in newtfmpage....inga kozhaai adi sandai thaane nadakkudhu..so no rule..no conviction.
  
  But real sensela..I am very clear about what I say and think.
