History

Dream Warrior Pictures first produced Saguni (2012) starring Karthi and Pranitha, it was a box office flop. Initially producers shot the film with Salim Ghouse as villain, while watching double positive, they felt for the change of villain and re-shot the entire portion with Prakash Raj as villain.[1] After Saguni, they have started their next production and the movie is titled as Kaashmora (2016), which is the high budget film in Karthi's career. Karthi, Nayanthara,[2] Sri Divya, Vivek are the protagonists in Kaashmora.[3][4] This movie turned out to be a historic-horror-comedy flick (multi genre), directed by Gokul, whose previous movie was Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara and music is composed by Santhosh Narayanan.[5][6] Kaashmora involves huge VFX work with CG footage amounting to close to 70 mins.[7] Producers confirmed that Kaashmora will be released both in Tamil and Telugu languages for Diwali 2016 (October).[8][9]

Even the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has addressed this issue. Hence medias are asking Prime Minister to watch the film.[13] In the movie, protagonist thinks himself as The President of India.[14] Joker explores different side of me, says Guru Somasundaram.[15] The Superstar of Indian Cinema Padma Vibhushan Rajnikanth praised the Joker team for making the movie.[16] Joker won the Tamil Film competition of 14th Chennai International Film Festival held in January 2017 at Chennai.[17][18][19] Also the film won couple more awards for Best Dialogues and Best Production which is conferred by Ananda Vikatan.[20]

Simultaneously, the Company had produced another movie titled Aruvi (2017), which is an Eco Social Drama, directed by Arun Prabhu Purushothaman. The Team had been hunting for lead artist through all social medias.[21] Aruvi made its international premiere at Shanghai International Film Festival in June 2016.[22] Producer S R Prabhu says, We are so much proud that Aruvi has become one of the best films produced under our banner.[23] Alongside Aruvi , Kootathil Orthan (2017) had started which is directed by Gnanavel, his debut movie.[24] Ashok Selvan and Priya Anand were playing the lead roles in this movie.[25]

gollark: > Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though.
gollark: Also... Minecraft?
gollark: Anyway, with sufficient accursed programs I can apparently export APIONET metrics to graphs.
