Nanban Movie Audio Launch!

It was a big day for the Coimbatore crowd yesterday (December 23, 2011). The reason was the audio launch of Shankar's upcoming film 'Nanban.' The audio was launched at the venue of Harris Jayaraj's live concert - On The Edge, and the place was Hindustan College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore. Harris also is the music director of this youthful Shankar entertainer.

The entire team of 'Nanban' was in attendance for the audio launch all inclusive of the director, Shankar, the lead stars Vijay, Srikanth and Jiiva as well as the crew members. While Vijay and Jiiva were clad in semi-formals, Srikanth looked smart clad in a blue Superman T-shirt. Shankar was in his signature self. Veteran Sathyaraj who plays an important role in the film was also present for the audio launch.

According to reports from Coimbatore, nearly 19000 people were expected for the event and come they did! Along with the audio release the trailer of 'Nanban' was also released. The first disc was released by Prabhu. Vijay's Docomo ad was also screened on the big screen. When Vijay took to the stage he was all in praise for his director Shankar. He also revealed that he had earlier missed a chance to act in the former's film, 'Mudhalvan', but did not want to miss the chance second time around, that's how 'Nanban' happened.

Ilayathalapathy also revealed that his co-stars Srikanth and Jiiva had become absolutely close to him. While Srikanth was a friend of Vijay even before 'Nanban', the actor revealed that he had also got really close to Jiiva during the shoot of 'Nanban.' 'Srikanth has also done complete justice to the role Maddy did in '3 Idiots,' said Vijay.

While Vijay spoke of Jiiva he said the latter was the prankster of the team, off camera. He used to crack hilarious jokes just before a serious scene was about to be shot and immediately got into the mood of his character. But it was Vijay who used to find it difficult to hold himself from laughing out loud.

RJ Shiva was the perfect host who carried the show forward. After Vijay spoke about the film, Shiva along with the crowd urged the actor to sing a song from the album. Following this demand from the crowd the actor sang 'Edho Panale...' and the crowd went crazy. Harris Jayaraj had earlier done the jingle for Vijay's previous Coke ads, now the songs for 'Nanban' too have come out really well said the actor.

The crowd went ecstatic seeing the cast and crew of the film all in one place. And in all it was undoubtedly a grand audio launch for 'Nanban!'

3 Movie Audio Launch Dhanush style! Videos

A bunch of youngsters will not be able to forget what they witnessed yesterday (December 23, 2011). The venue was the St George's school grounds where Aishwarya Dhanush's upcoming film '3's audio launch took place. The event was a huge success, not in terms of big names present but for the crowd that had grouped at the spot.


Dhanush was present clad in a white Armani and beside him was the woman of his life, wife Aishwarya. The couple looked attractive and entertained the gathered. They sang and danced. The crowd went crazy when Dhanush sang and performed for 'Kolaveri Di...' The man behind the music of '3,' Anirudh, was also present. Dhanush, in his own style, has a way of getting the pulse of the audience and he re-created the magic again.


As if Dhanush's ticklers weren't enough Siva Karthikeyan and Aadhavan were the hosts of this event and they were in their best elements! This duo made the crowd roar in laughter with their funny one-liners and comments. They also did their usual dose of mimicry, mimicking Bhagyaraj, Vijayakanth and TR on how it would be if these film personalities were to croon the soup song Kolaveri.


There was a laser show and a lot of music and dancing. And when time came for the music CD to be released, Dhanush asked his wife to pick three young men and women randomly from the crowd. These '3' pairs along with Kasthuri Raja, his wife and mom-in-law Latha Rajinikanth unveiled the music CD of the Dhanush, Shruti Haasan starrer '3' in the presence of the crew members of '3'. All this fun that took place during the audio launch of 3 will be telecast on Sun TV soon...


The album of '3' comprises of a m�lange of foot tapping numbers and some soft melodious songs sung by Vijay Yesudas, Mohit Chauhan, Shwetha Mohan, Anirudh, new singers Satya Prakash and Ajeesh. Yet another highlight is that all songs except one have been penned by Dhanush and the remaining one has been penned by Aishwarya.
