Yuvan Sankar Raja Audio Launch on Aegan and Silambattam

Yuvan Shankar Raja is going to have back-to-back audio launches. It is a rare feat for a music director to have audio launches of two of his films, one after another.

On September 30, the audio of Simbu's Silambattam, which has music by Yuvan is scheduled.

Simbu and Yuvan have always rocked together from Manmathan to Vallavan. So a lot is riding on Silambattam's music.

Next day on October 1, is the audio launch of Ajith's Aegan. Who can forget the peppy songs of the deadly combo in Dheena and Billa ?

Recently Ajith had told Raju Sundaram, the director of the film that he is very happy with the music of Aegan.

“I am being targeted”: Simbu

Simbu has denied media reports about the incident, that he called up cops and reported that his car was stolen by his driver.

According to the article, in early hours of Wednesday, Simbu had called up the police control room from Speed, a night club at Grand Orient Hotel, Chennai reporting that his driver had stolen his car!

As per media reports, Simbu and his younger brother Kuralarasan had dropped in at the night club and asked the driver to wait, but later when the driver called up their mother Usha Rajendran, she instructed him to come back.

The media reports also stated that she wanted to teach her sons (brats who were unmanageable!) a lesson for their late coming.

"How can they fabricate such a story when I am away in Sri Lanka shooting with Sneha and my Silambattam unit for two songs? I left Chennai on September 3 and was back yesterday morning (Sunday Sep 14) to hear this horrifying report. This is not the first time that a section of media has been targeting me".

Simbu tells us that his brother had gone for a party with friends and when he came back the car and driver were missing in the parking lot of the hotel. He called up his mom who made a police complaint.

Silambattam's audio launch?

The audio launch of Silambattam has been postponed at the behest of its hero Simbu. It is now said that the official audio release will be held only after October 4th. The reason cited for this delay is that Simbu is keen that the songs turn out to be chartbusters and has asked music director Yuvan Shankar Raja to work on remixing the Vechukava Unna Mattum Nenjukulla song.
Simbu has sung this song along with RJ Suchi. It is believed that the song will top the charts just as Suchi-Simbu combination Yen Aasai Mythiliye and Yemmadi Aathaadi proved to be. Silambattam will also have another remix Nalam Thaana making it the first film to have two remixes.

The other tracks in the film are Thamil endra naan, Konnuputta, and Nalam Thana.
