Career

The company was founded by Ravi Shankar Prasad who also owned Anand Cine Services and it went on to produce and distribute many successful Tamil films including the remakes of Rajkumar Hirani films like Vasool Raja MBBS, Shankar Dada MBBS, Shankar Dada Zindabad & Nanban.[lower-alpha 1] However the failure of Mani Ratnam's Kadal (2013) affected company's finances after the venture became a surprise failure at the box office, and distributors of Kadal wanted compensation before Madha Gaja Raja was released.[1][2] The company made its comeback co-producing and distributing the Malayalam film Unda (2019).
