It's official. The much awaited music launch of Mani Ratnam's magum opus 'Raavanan' will be held in Chennai on May 5. The listing of audio tracks for the film starring Vikram and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in lead roles has also been released by Sony Music.
The title song 'Veera...' ('Beera...' in Hindi) has been crooned by the same singer Vijay Prakash of 'Hosanna...' fame along with Keerthi Sagathia. The Additional African vocals are rendered by Mustafa Kutoon.
Karthik's 'Usure Pogudhey...' is expected to be the Tamil version of 'Behene De...' and music maestro A R Rahman has picked Shreya Ghoshal for 'Kalvare...' (Presumably Rekha Bharadwaj's 'Kili Re...').
The other tracks are - 'Kodu Poatta...' (Benny Dayal), 'Keda Kari...' (Benny Dayal, Bhagyaraj, Rayhana and Grammy winner Tanvi Shah) and 'Kaattu Sirukki...' (Shankar Mahadevan, Anuradha Sriram).
Vairamuthu has penned lyrics for all the songs. The film is simultaneously releasing in Hindi as 'Raavan' and in Telugu as 'Villain'.
