About Us

EKA Cinemas is the culmination of a decade-long cinematic evolution. While the company officially takes flight in 2026, the seed of this vision was planted in 2016 following the release of the debut feature Ave Maria. What began as a shared passion between founders Vipin Radhakrishnan and Ashand Raju for unique, emotionally true cinema, matured through the grit of independent filmmaking and projects like Angammal.


Today, EKA Cinemas stands as a production house in full swing—a bridge between deeply rooted regional narratives and the global stage. We are dedicated to "Hyper-Local Stories with Global Resonance," taking the cultural nuances of South Indian storytelling and presenting them through a sophisticated, international cinematic lens. Our goal is to produce high-quality, story-driven films that balance artistic vision with social relevance.


We don't just produce; we cultivate. By providing a comprehensive development ecosystem—from script doctoring to advanced pre-visualization—we empower original voices to create works that challenge perspectives and spark worldwide cultural conversations.
