History
In 1981 Kavithalayaa Productions was founded by the legendary filmmaker Dadasaheb Phalke awardee K.Balachander. Having produced over 50+ films many of them being huge hits they also have provided with 3500+ hours of television content entertaining people to the most.
Having successfully mastered the art of storytelling for the big and small screen over three decades, Kavithalayaa has entered the digital media.[2] Keeping in mind the current trends in an endeavour to keep pace witnessed in entertainment consumption patterns, both globally and in India, they’ve released their maiden digital series[3] Harmony with A.R.Rahman on Prime video India.
The failure of Kuselan (2008) directly impacted the progress of the studio's other films, which were in production. Two films which they were producing by director Selva, Nootrukku Nooru with Vinay, Sneha and Sandhya, and Muriyadi with Sathyaraj, Ganesh Venkatraman and Remya Nambeesan were shelved, despite commencing production. Likewise, Shelvan's Krishnaleelai featuring Jeevan and Meghana Raj, was also cancelled. The director of the film threatened to hold an indefinite fast against the production house's reluctance to release the film in 2011, but to no avail.[4][5]
