section::::early history.
avm productions
established by a. v. meiyappan in 1945, avm studios is one of the oldest surviving film studios in asia. twins aruna guhan and aparna guhan, the great granddaughters of meiyappan and the fourth generation scions of avm productions (their production house), were interested in film production. for their first production venture, they went through several scripts for more than six months but were not satisfied with them. when they saw "kasappu inippu" (bitter sweet), a ten-minute short film on youtube, they were impressed. the short was directed by srihari prabaharan, a software engineer working for wipro. the sisters invited him to narrate a script which they eventually liked. they settled for the story line as they felt it was simple, yet strong and poignant. thus, they zeroed in on the debutant directors srihari and his friend anil krishnan.
