The studio is led by K. Prabhakaran, who later adopted the stage name Anbalaya Prabhakaran.^[1] In the 1990s the studio specialized in making low budget Tamil films with upcoming directors. Some of the directors that the studio introduced include Agathiyan and Prabhu Solomon.^[2] In addition to producing, Prabhakaran also acted in his productions, mostly portraying negative roles.

In the early 2000s, Prabhakaran signed on Arjun Sarja to work on a film for the studio. The duo initially planned to team up for a film titled Chanakya to be directed by Shaji Kailas, but later dropped the plan. Subsequently, Arjun directed and starred in Parasuram (2003).^[3]

In 2004, the studio made a comeback by producing the college drama Pazhaniappa Kalloori (2007) starring Naveen Chandra, Arjumman Mughal, Madhu Shalini and Akshaya Rao.^[4][5]
