27 years old? Producer? Too soon, people say. For them, it might be too soon. But for me, it’s been 12 years of trying hard to break in, ever since I started dreaming about cinema at 15.

Last March, this same Karuppiah was going through a midlife crisis, just wondering what’s next in life.

I had signed two films back then. Both were multistarrers, both got stuck and didn’t see the light of day. Everything felt uncertain. Somewhere in that phase, life itself started feeling a little claustrophobic.

At that point, the only dream I held onto was simple. Just to see my name on screen as a Writer–Director.

Cut to one year later…

That dream didn’t just stay a dream. It grew. It became something bigger than me.

I realized my purpose is to bring out the best cinema I enjoy to as many people as I possibly can.

From chasing a credit to building a vision - this hard journey built me. Thank you Amma & Appa for standing beside me ❤️🤗 Grateful to be your son! This film is for both of you.

Loved cinema a little too much, so we built a company. That’s our @paarvathaaent . Thank you to my friends and core production team for being there during tough times.

Finally thank you Ken & gag for giving us #YOUTH ⭐️ @kenkarunaas he is hereto slay!

Aaandddd @ammamuthu_surya thank you for introducing Ken and #Youth to us :) indebted to you forever ❤️

And this is just the beginning. We’re here, and we’re here to bring you good, honest cinema.

Tomorrow, the first step into that journey begins with a lot of hope. #Youth ❤️ is now all yours

#ThrowbacktoJune
Been on the other side as a director, signing projects and waiting for the right moment.
I kept waiting… trusting the timing and I’m still waiting.
But now, I’m also on the opposite side, as a producer, and it feels incredibly special to watch a beautiful film take shape right next to me.
It reminds me that dreams come alive exactly the way they’re meant to. ✨❤️

A young team came together with nothing but passion, hard work, and a dream to create something special. We believed in our story, but it was your love that transformed it into a 50-day blockbuster celebration in theatres.

Watching audiences laugh, cheer, celebrate, and connect with #Youth has been the greatest reward for all of us. These 50 glorious days will forever remain close to our hearts.

Thank you for supporting new talent, new voices, and our big dream. This is only the beginning. ❤️🙏

Last March to September /// #Youth PreProd dump

From GST registration to the first advance to non-stop pre-production with test shoots, narrations, recce, Pooja and song recordings happening back to back.

Honestly, some of the best times I’d go back to in a moment.

This was also when I truly saw what an all-rounder @kenkarunaas is. Watching him work up close with that kind of conviction and passion… super proud ❤️🤗
