Fox Star Studios in a two-film deal with C V Kumar's Thirukumaran Entertainment

Having made its entry into the Tamil film industry in 2009 when it struck a multi film production deal with A R Murugadoss, Fox Star Studios has raised its stakes in the Tamil film industry by entering into an alliance with well-known film producer CV Kumar's Thirukumaran Entertainment for two exciting projects namely Mundasupatti and V. Chitram. Said Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios, "We are focused on increasing our presence in the Tamil film industry, as we have done in the Hindi film industry. While we have extended our successful association in Tamil with A R Murugadoss to Hindi as well, we are also increasing our footprint in the Tamil industry by partnering with C V Kumar's Thirukumaran Entertainment. C V Kumar has proven himself as one of the market leaders who is high concept driven with budget conscious- qualities that resonate well with our brand. Together we promise highly entertaining cinema." Thirukumaran Entertainment, that has produced breakaway hits like Attakathi, Pizza and Soodhu Kavvum has established itself as one of the major players in the Tamil film industry in recent years. Commenting on the partnership, C V Kumar added, "I remember many years ago, when I went to Los Angeles and saw the giant movie studios there, I decided I wanted to be a movie producer. I could never have imagined that in such few years, I would be working with a leading international studio like Fox Star Studios. It is truly a dream come true for me. I work very hard on every film and it is good to work with a partner who has an international expertise in developing, marketing and distributing films." Interestingly, Kumar’s production house made its debut in the Tamil film industry in 2010, a year after Fox Star Studios entered the industry in partnership with A R Murugadoss with Engaeyum Eppothum in 2011 and later Vathikuchi in March this year.
