History

Producer Nemichand Jhabak's father owned the negative rights for several Tamil classic films. [2] Subsequently since 2000, the Jhabaks have been involved in a long-running legal battle against the Sun TV Network regarding the over-priced sale of the television rights of the films. [3] [4] [5]

The Jhabaks made their production debut with Naan Avanillai (2007), a remake of the yesteryear film. The film was a success, as was the studio's second film, Anjathe (2008) by Mysskin. However, their following films Pandi , Pokkisham and Pandhayam , which was distributed by them, all failed at the box office prompting Hitesh Jhabak to attempt suicide in August 2009. [6] In 2011, Hitesh Jhabak filed a complaint against Hansraj Saxena of Sun Pictures for extortion and cheating during the making of Mappillai . [7] Likewise, after the failure of Vanmam (2014), Hitesh Jhabak publicly thanked actor Arya for forgoing his payment for his work in Meaghamann (2014) to ensure the film was released. [8] In 2015, producer Nemichand Jhabak spoke out against the rising costs of film production and the unfavourable conditions requested by actors. [2] Including their first film, they have made ten films in a decade, with the most recent being the first Indian space film, Tik Tik Tik (2018) starring Jayam Ravi and Nivetha Pethuraj. [9]
