Seven Screen Studio is an Indian film production and distribution company headed by S. S. Lalit Kumar.[1][2]
History
[edit]S. S. Lalit Kumar set up Chennai-based film production house Seven Screen Studio in 2017, before moving on to produce the Sasikumar-starrer Asuravadham (2018) and distribute 96 (2018) across Tamil Nadu. The film's initial projects were released with the name of Lalit's wife, Leela Lalitkumar.[3]
He subsequently went on to work on higher-profile projects, notably beginning with Lokesh Kanagaraj's Master (2021) featuring Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles.[4][5] The release of the film was delayed multiple times owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, with Lalit Kumar often making announcements that the studio awaits a theatrical release rather than going to a streaming platform.[6][7]
In 2022, the studio has worked on ventures including Karthik Subbaraj's Mahaan and R. Ajay Gnanamuthu's Cobra, both featuring Vikram in the lead. It also produced Vignesh Shivan's Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal featuring Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha.[8]
In 2023, it produced and distributed the most-expected action flick Leo, the second collaboration of Vijay and Lokesh Kanagaraj, the third installment in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. The film emerged as the highest-grossing Tamil film of 2023, the sixth highest-grossing Indian film of 2023, the highest-grossing Tamil film overseas and the highest-grossing film in Tamil Nadu[broken anchor].
