Chennai, Aug 6: Tamil film superstar Rajnikanth will release the audio of "Eeram", produced by Shankar's 'S' Pictures and directed by newcomer Arivazagan.

The audio of the film is slated to be released Aug 9 in Chennai.

When Shankar reportedly sent a list of VIPs to Rajnikanth to select one who would be accepting the audio-cassettes and CDs of the film, the superstar is said to have struck down all the names and asked Shankar to call film director Sasikumar for the function, industry insiders said.

Meanwhile, the film is reported to have overshot its estimated budget by several lakhs of rupees and this hasn't gone down well with Shankar. Arivazhagan, however, is said to have assured Shankar that the film would be worth spending for.

Trisha stays away from Gopichand's birthday bash

Trisha is presently doing a Telugu film "Shankam" opposite Gopichand. The actor, who has made a name for himself, decided to celebrate his birthday on location in grand style, unit sources said.

Cakes were ordered and the place was decorated beautifully. Everything was ready and the birthday boy and the rest of the crew were waiting for the leading lady of the film to turn up.

Trisha, however, was said to be inside her make-up van unmindful of the birthday bash that was being planned outside, unit sources added.

Though Gopichand was about to cut the cake, he was made to wait by the director who assured him that Trisha would join them.

She, however, never came out and finally the birthday celebrations took place in her absence, sources said.
