&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Thenandal Studios Limited&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;TSL&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;), formerly known as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sri Thenandal Films&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sri Thenandal Pictures&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, is an Indian film production and distribution studio in [[Chennai]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. It was founded by director [[Rama Narayanan]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rama Narayanan]] set up Sri Thenandal Films in 1976 in Chennai, and the studio has gone on to distribute over 750 films across India. Sri Thenandal Films is one of the few producers in Tamil cinema to survive beyond 100 productions along with AVM, Modern Theatres, Gemini Studios, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Sri Thenandal Films produced and distributed a series of devotional films directed by [[Rama Narayanan]]. The quick spate of releases titled after goddesses such as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Palayathu Amman]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2000), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Nageswari]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2001), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Kottai Mariamman]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2001) and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Annai Kaligambal]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2003), saw the studio garner an image of focussing solely on Hindu devotional subjects.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Palayathamman |publisher=Cinema Today |url=http://cinematoday2.itgo.com/Cinema%20Previews%20-%20Palayathamman.htm}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2010s, Murali Ramaswamy made a decision to actively purchase and distribute horror films, and experienced immediate success after &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Aranmanai]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2014), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Kanchana 2]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2015), &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Demonte Colony]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2015) and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Maya (2015 Tamil film)|Maya]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2015) all became profitable ventures. The success of the studio&amp;#039;s investment in that particular genre prompted them to finance smaller budget horror films including &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Strawberry (film)|Strawberry]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2015) and &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Jackson Durai]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (2016), in attempt to capitalise on the popularity of the genre across [[Tamil Nadu]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |title=Sri Thenandal Films-The success mantra! |date=25 August 2015 |publisher=Sify Movies |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/sri-thenandal-films-the-success-mantra-news-tamil-pizkwtfcbbhjf.html}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Following the release of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mersal&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, the studio faced financial problems and cancelled several projects that they were associated with. A proposed high budget fantasy drama titled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Sangamithra&amp;#039;&amp;#039; directed [[Sundar C]] entered pre-production and was promoted at the [[Cannes Film Festival]] as one of India&amp;#039;s most expensive films. The film, which was set to star [[Jayam Ravi]], [[Arya (actor)|Arya]] and [[Disha Patani]] in the lead roles, went through multiple changes in its cast and budget before later being scrapped. Director [[M. Rajesh|Rajesh]]&amp;#039;s untitled film with [[Santhanam (actor)|Santhanam]], Ananda Krishnan&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Oxygen&amp;#039;&amp;#039; with [[Ashok Selvan]] and P. S. Mithran&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;&amp;#039;7 Kinaru&amp;#039;&amp;#039; with [[Udhayanidhi Stalin]] were suddenly dropped, while [[Sasi (director)|Sasi]] later chose to change producers to make his film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Sivappu Manjal Pachai]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which was earlier titled &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Rettai Kombu&amp;#039;&amp;#039; when Thenandal Studio were the makers. The film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Vallavanukkum Vallavan]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was delayed for several years before another studio joined as co-producers to help release the venture. Furthermore, [[A. R. Rahman]]&amp;#039;s virtual reality film &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Le Musk]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, Ashwin Saravanan&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Iravaakaalam]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; with [[S. J. Suryah]] and [[Dhanush]]&amp;#039;s untitled directorial venture featuring himself alongside [[Akkineni Nagarjuna|Nagarjuna]] and [[Aditi Rao Hydari]], have continued to face significant production delays.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.hindustantimes.com/regional-movies/mersal-makers-have-an-interesting-line-up-of-films-includes-one-with-dhanush/story-4Xn0mX5QBgP8iduHvAJskK.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.indiaglitz.com/sri-thenandal-studios-after-blockbuster-thalapathy-vijay-mersal-producing-sangamithra-iravaakalam-and-four-movies--tamil-news-201567&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A co-director of one of their productions and a magician, who worked on &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mersal&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, also threatened legal action against the studio for their failure to pay dues.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/regional-cinema/story/mersal-magician-raman-sharma-on-payment-dues-thenandal-studios-are-thugs-1406435-2018-12-10&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.filmibeat.com/tamil/news/2018/aspiring-director-lashes-at-mersal-producer-claims-thenandal-studios-owe-him-money-275874.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; TSL will produce &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Thalapathy 67&amp;#039;&amp;#039; directed by [[Prashanth Neel]] in mid-2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.indiaglitz.com/thalapathy-vijay-next-new-movie-director-prashanth-neel-kgf-kgf-2-producer-dil-raju-tamil-news-283571&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
