== History ==
The proposed venture of the studio was meant to be a collaboration between director Thamizhvaanan and actor [[Vishal (actor)|Vishal]], but the film never took off.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/apr-08-04/tamilvaanan-29-04-08.html|title=How to impress Udhayanidhi Stalin? – Behindwoods.com Tamilvaanan Udhayanidhi Red Giant Movies Kuruvi Vishal Kalvanin Kadhali S J Suryah PICTURE IMAGE GALLERY STILLS WALLPAPERS|website=www.behindwoods.com}}</ref> Subsequently, the first production of Red Giant Movies was the action drama ''[[Kuruvi]]'' (2008) starring [[Vijay (actor)|Vijay]], following which the studio financed [[K.
