10 visionaries, 10 movies, one announcement: 'Mookuthi Amman 2' makers share a stunning update
In the 80s, a film was considered a big film if its budget was ₹25 lakh. But over time, that value has crossed the crores. Currently, there are corporate companies in Kollywood that produce films at a cost of over ₹500 crore.
The fact that leading actors like
Rajinikanth
, Vijay, and Ajith are being paid ₹200 crores alone shows this change. As a result, it is now impossible for individual producers to make films with them. Therefore, in this situation, they only work with big production houses.
One of the most important of these corporate production companies is the production house owned by Isari Ganesh, the makers of 'Mookuthi Amman 2.' Although he is from the academic field, he has a great passion for cinema.
Following in his father's footsteps, he has also acted in some small roles in cinema. Today, many of the films he has produced have successfully run in theaters.
The production house has bankrolled many films, including 'LKG,' 'Comali,' 'Ennai Noki Payum Thotta,' 'Mookuthi Amman,' 'Vendu Thaninatha Kadu,' 'Singapore Saloon,' and 'Sumo.' Currently, the film Mookuthi Amman 2, starring Nayanthara and directed by
Sundar C
, is also being produced by the company. Following this, it is big news that the production house has set up a plan to produce films worth around ₹1000 crore. To confirm future projects, the production house has announced 10 films with 10 directors, and the announcement was made official through an introduction video of 10 directors. Sundar C, Gautham Menon,
Vetri Maaran
, Mari Selvaraj, Prem Kumar, Jude Anthany,
Arunraja Kamaraj
, Vignesh Raja, Chella Ayyavu, and Ganesh K Babu are the directors who will be next directing the upcoming films bankrolled by 'Mookuthi Amman 2' makers.
Plans have been made for films starring Dhanush, Arya, Rajinikanth, Ravi Mohan, and others. Also, talks are underway with Ajith. If it happens, there is a possibility that Wells will produce Ajith's next film, directed by Adhik Ravichandran. The company is planning to release announcements of the films it is producing one after the other, raising expectations.

Can't wait for August 14th." Recalling an early Rajini memory, one fan shared, 'I am proud to be a Rajini fan since the first Rajini film I saw was Mullum Malarum." And finally, a nostalgic voice echoed many sentiments: 'Finally TR and Rajni joined. I remember always when Rajni's film releases, TR only releases his movie against him & succeeds."
