Sathya Jyothi Films is an Indian film production and distribution company in Tamil Nadu. It was established in 1977 by T. G. Thyagarajan.

History[edit | edit source]

Sathya Jyothi Films was founded by T. G. Thyagarajan in the 1970s. Thyagarajan, an MBA graduate from the United States, is the son of film producer, late Venus T. Govindarajan, who had made films from the 1960s to the 1980s under Venus Pictures.[1] Thyagarajan initially ventured into film productions under the studio Sathya Movies, production company of his father-in-law R. M. Veerappan before founding Sathya Jyothi Films to make "slightly offbeat films".[2] The first film distributed by the company was the Tamil-dubbed version of Yashoda Krishna.[3][4] The company's first film as producers was Moondram Pirai (1982).[5]
