Jeans is a 1998 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by S. Shankar; and produced by Ashok Amritraj and Murali Manohar. The film stars Prashanth, Aishwarya Rai and Nassar in the lead roles, while Raju Sundaram, Raadhika and Lakshmi play supporting role characters. The film features a soundtrack by A. R. Rahman, while Ashok Kumar and the duo B. Lenin and V. T. Vijayan handled the cinematography and editing respectively.
The film opened to Indian audiences on 24 April 1998 and was the most expensive film to be made in Indian cinema at that time. Owing to its success, it was later dubbed into the Hindi and Telugu languages and released with the same title. The film was selected by India as its official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film for the Academy Awards in 1998, but was not nominated. The soundtrack of Jeans was composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Vairamuthu. The audio launch took place in March 1998. To make the audio cassettes more "elegant and memorable", cassette store owners were told to wrap the cassettes in jeans clothing before giving them to customers. |
