The Hindu Business Line : Two IIM-K students launch film production house

Kochi, April 4 Taking the road less travelled by the management fraternity as a whole, two final year students of the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode, have started their own production house to produce movies. The production house called 12th Man Productions was started by the students, Mr Sreerama Suprath and Mr Ashish Sinha.

The first movie from the production house called ‘Deceit,’ was premiered at the IIM K auditorium on the eve of the convocation of the passing out batch of 2008.

The film made in the silent movie genre is a fast-paced action thriller and received positive review for its sheer professionalism. The first movie from the production house was written, directed and produced by Mr Suprath and Mr Sinha with actors from the IIM K student community.

Mr K. Unnikrishnan Nair, PGP Chairperson, IIMK commented: “I am pleased to see the final year students of our programme coming up with such an innovative concept. The trend has been to experiment more with ventures in dotcom and other familiar sectors. But a start-up in a completely different domain is what truly differentiates this and makes it look promising.” The movie is also being promoted among young executives.

Mr Manish Kumar, Brand Manager, Kinetic, said, “Excellent effort taking into consideration, the limited training in film making and the time and resource constraint in a B-school. A simple story presented in a very innovative way.”
