History

Film production

After enjoying success as the worldwide co-distributors of the

Kadhir's Manavar Dhinam with Vinay, were shelved after being launched.[8]

The studio continued distributing films throughout the 2010s and made a return to production through Kaththi (2014), which was co-produced by Lyca Productions. The success of the film meant that Ayngaran International were actively looking to make a return to the film industry, and announced that they would finance Anand Shankar's Marma Manithan with Vikram and Kajal Aggarwal starring. However, subsequently they opted against making the film and the project was taken up by different producers.[9]
