== Release ==&lt;br /&gt;
The audio was initially scheduled for release on 15 June 2008, once the film&amp;#039;s production wrapped in May 2008. But producer Venu Ravichandran opposed the plans for the launch, due to the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Dasavathaaram]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, one of the highly anticipated films of the year was scheduled for release on 13 June 2008, two days before the audio launch, slated.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;precn&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|year=2008|title=Vaaranam Aayiram re-recording starts!|url=http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14742928|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080822192745/http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14742928|archive-date=22 August 2008|access-date=19 August 2008|publisher=Sify}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; During August 2008, Harris Jayaraj started [[Re-recording (music)|re-recording]] works on the film score and soundtrack.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;precn&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; The audio rights were purchased by [[Sony BMG]], whom Ravichandran introduced into the Tamil market with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dasavathaaram&amp;#039;&amp;#039;  for a highest bid. Harris later handed the master copy of the soundtrack on 10 September 2008 to Sony BMG, whom fixed the audio launch date as 24 September 2008.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;musictracks&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a unique promotional camp, the songs from the albums were released to four leading radio stations in [[Chennai]], with one song per station, in attempt to popularise it five days before the official launch. The move by Sony BMG was the first of its kind in [[Indian cinema]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;musictracks&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|year=2008|title=VA- Unique audio marketing!|url=http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14762835|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080922034447/http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14762835|archive-date=22 September 2008|access-date=20 September 2008|publisher=[[Sify]].com}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The audio was released in [[Sathyam cinemas|Sathyam Cinemas]] in [[Chennai]], with the film&amp;#039;s cast and crew in attendance, and a live performance from Harris Jayaraj and his musical team.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|title=Vaaranam Aayiram audio launched|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/vaaranam-aayiram-audio-launched-imagegallery-movies-jdwmS6cfdjhsi.html|access-date=2021-06-27|website=Sify|language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
