Early history

[edit]

Born on 28 July 1907, Avichi Meiyappan hailed from a NattukottaiNagarathar family ofKaraikudi in Tamil Nadu. AvichiChettiar ran a mini-department store, named AV & Sons.^[4] It sold gramophone records. Meiyappan, who joined his father's shop as a teenager, and decided to produce gramophone records instead of just selling them. He came to Madras where, along with friends K. S. NarayanaIyengar, SubbaiahChettiar and others promoted Saraswathi Stores.

AVM Productions ventured intostreaming space by announcingTamil Rockerz, a crime thriller series inspired from a real-life film piracy group, directed by Arivazhagan.^[5]

Maiden venture

[edit]

The dawn of the talkie era (1931) inspired Meiyappan to start Saraswathi Sound Productions and he launched his maiden movie venture, Alli Arjuna a Hindu mythology based movie. The film was shot inCalcutta and proved a total flop as the one that followed namedRatnavali.^[6] At this point, an aspiring amateur actor and college graduate A. T. Krishnaswamy joined the unit as assistant director who was associated with Meiyappan for nearly a decade and wrote and directed the early AVM productions.

The reverses forced Meiyappan to lie low but only for a while. In association with Jayanthilal, a cinema house owner based inBangalore, he promoted a new company Pragati Pictures Limited. Grabbing an opportunity that came his way, AVM madeNandakumar, Tamil version of a Marathi film launching it as a Pragati production. The highlight of this movie was the debut ofT. R. Mahalingam in to Tamil movie Industry.

The film was a landmark because for the first time playback singing was tried, with Lalitha Venkatraman singing for the actor who played Devaki. Meiyappan took the sprawling Club House off Mount Road on lease and shot scenes without going to studios and erecting sets. Soon after he shifted his unit to another sprawling edifice known as Admiralty House in Adyar.

Later history

[edit]

In 1940, Meiyappan producedBhoo Kailas, aTelugu mythological film which created history. Its lead players were from Telugu and Kannada cinema, and was directed bySundar Rao Nadkarni, a Mangalorean who had his training in Bombay.^[4] The film turned out to be a big hit and also won critical acclaim. Meiyappan struck gold with comedy next.Sabapathy (1941) with the saucer-eyedT. R. Ramachandran in the lead, along withKali N. Rathnam andK. Sarangapani was a runaway success. Then came a series of hits likeEn Manaivi,Harishchandra (1943),Sri Valli.

The city ofMadras began to feel the strains of theWorld War II raging on elsewhere and to reduce the exposure from Japanese bombing, Meiyappan moved his facilities toKaraikudi. In the outskirts of the town karaikudi he occupied a drama auditorium with a large open area around it on long lease and erected a studio. Thus was born AVM Productions withAVM Studios.

Hits likeNam Iruvar (1947),Parasakthi (1952),Andha Naal (1954), and the National Award-winningHum Panchhi Ek Daal Ke (1957) followed.

Meiyappan died on 12 August 1979, and after his demise his sons took over the mantle.^[7]

In 2007, AVM producedSivaji which at₹ 95 crore, was said to be the most expensive film ever made in the history of the Indian film industry at that time.^[8]

In 2013, AVM led by Aruna Guhan and Aparna Guhan started producing films to be screened only on the net.^[9] Their first such production was a 55-minute-film, titledIdhuvum Kadandhu Pogum.^[10]
