The Digital versions of 7 complete songs of Shivaji are now available on more than 124 websites! It is said that these songs have been 'leaked' 3 days before the formal launch of the Shivaji audio, with the entire information about the songs including complete lyrics.

Generally there is an opinion about A.R.Rahman songs that they are not impressive to hear for the very first time.. But Shivaji songs break that jinx and 6 out of the 7 songs have the quality to become chartbusters. Particularly 'Vaaji Vaaji... Shivaji...', 'Sahana saaral thoovutho...' and 'Kaviri Aarum Kaikuthal arisiyum...' are poised to become sure hits of the year.

The complete details of the album:

Song 1: Athiradithan Machan Machan Machane... (A.R.Rahman, Sayanora)
Song 2: Baleilakka... Kaviri Aarum Kaikuthal arisiyum Maranthu Poguma... (S.P.Balasubramaniyam, A.R Raihana, Benny and chorus)
Song 3: Sahana Saaral Thoovbutho... (Udith Narayanan, Chinmayi)
Song 4: Sahara pookal Poothatho... (Vijay Yesudass, Gomathi Shri and chorus)
Song 5: Oru koodai Sunlight, Orukoodai Moonlight... (Raags, Tanvi, Suresh Peters, Blazze and chorus)
Song 6: The boss (Theme song)... Blazze, Raqueeb Alam and Naresh Iyyaer
Song 8: Vaaji Vaaji Shivaji... (Hariharan, Madhu Shri)

The lyrics for the songs have been written by Vairamuthu.Some of the audio tracks and punch dialogues of the film are also 'available' on these portals.

The production house has been maintaining silence even after the leak of the full version of the Shivaji audio. Sources from AVM said that the producer has approached the City Police Commissioner to find out the person responsible for the leak. But a buzz is in the air that the production house itself has leaked the complete music files to these audio portals. Otherwise it would not have been possible to broadcast the original digital version of the audio.
