Chennai, Aug 5 - 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.
