The company's first production was Srimanthudu starring Mahesh Babu, Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Rajendra Prasad, Mukesh Rishi, Sampath Raj, Harish Uthaman and directed by Koratala Siva.[5] Set on a budget of 40—70 crore with Koratala Siva both directing and writing its screenplay, Devi Sri Prasad composed the score and R. Madhi handled the cinematography.

Their second production was Janatha Garage starring Mohanlal, N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Unni Mukundan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Nithya Menon in lead roles. It was also directed by Koratala Siva. Devi Sri Prasad composed the score, and Tirru handled the cinematography.

In 2018 the company produced 3 movies. Rangasthalam, starring Ram Charan Teja, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Aadhi Pinisetty, Jagapathi Babu and Prakash Raj in lead roles, was directed by Sukumar. Devi Sri Prasad composed the score, and R. Rathnavelu handled the cinematography.[6] Their next film was Savyasachi starring Naga Chaitanya, R. Madhavan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Bhumika Chawla. This was followed by Amar Akbar Anthony starring Ravi Teja and Ileana D'Cruz and directed by Srinu Vaitla.

In 2019 the company produced 4 films. It first released Chitralahari starring Sai Dharam Tej and directed by Kishore Tirumala. Their next venture was Dear Comrade starring Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna. This was followed by Nani's Gang Leader starring Nani and Priyanka Arul Mohan. Their final release of the year was Mathu Vadalara starring Sri Simha and Naresh Agastya.

2020–present

edit

In 2021, they released Uppena, starring Panja Tej and Krithi Shetty in their debut; and Pushpa: The Rise. Both of these were huge blockbusters at the box office and won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu (Uppena), National Film Award for Best Actor (Allu Arjun), and National Film Award for Best Music Direction (Devi Sri Prasad). Following the success of Pushpa, the house launched numerous high budget projects with multiple actors.

In 2022, more of their films were released: Sarkaru Vaari Paata, Ante Sundaraniki, Happy Birthday and Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali. Despite high expectations, all four films received a lukewarm response at the box office. The same year they announced Waltair Veerayya, Veera Simha Reddy, Kushi, RC16, and NTR31, and Pushpa 2: The Rule to be in development.

Both Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy released on the same day during Sankranti 2023 and became huge commercial successes for both Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna.
