When Superstar Rajnikanth, music director A R Rahman and ace director Shankar team up – its bound to create ripples. The music of Sivaji – The Boss - one of the highest selling Tamil albums of 2007, is no exception to this. The soundtrack, which sold over 2,000,000 copies in Tamil Nadu alone, is being released in Hindi by Sony Music.
Composed by double Academy Award Winner and Grammy Nominee A R Rahman, the Hindi soundtrack hits the music stores in Jan 2010. The album features songs by leading singers like Udit Narayan, Hariharan, Javed Ali and A R Rahman himself. Shridhar Subramaniam, MD, Sony Music, said, “The A R Rahman - Shankar combination has given several blockbusters through the years, which have been nationally and internationally acclaimed. When you add Rajnikanth’s legendary star power to this, the result is phenomenal. The music of Sivaji is very unique and was a massive hit in Tamil. We feel this music will appeal to fans of this brand of cinema and music all over the world. Sony Music is distributing the Hindi OST of Sivaji – The Boss across the globe, and expect it to work wonders in UK, USA and Middle East – where A R Rahman has a huge fan following. Sony Music has made the album all the more attractive by adding some bonus A R Rahman hits from blockbusters like Lagaan, Rang De Basanti and Guru amongst others. Sony are also distributing the much anticipated Tamil soundtrack, Vinnaithaandi varuvaaya, also by AR Rahman, out soon. Sivaji – The Boss was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2007.
