| 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. |
