Cloud Nine Movies acquires ‘Paiyaa’
Dhayanidhi Alagiri’s Cloud Nine Movies will present Karthi starrer Paiyaa, directed by Lingusamy in association with Thiruppathy Brothers this summer.

Cloud Nine is a name to reckon with in Tamil cinema having released Suriya starrer Varanam Ayiram followed by their successful production venture Thamizh Padam. It is highly expected that this movie would be a hat trick for Cloud Nine Movies and also for karthi. The company is currently producing Thoonga Nagaram, which went to floors very recently.

Silent movies were produced in Chennai since 1916 and the era of talkies dawned in 1931 with the film Kalidas. By the end of the 1930s, the State of Madras legislature passed the Entertainment Tax Act 1939. Tamil Nadu cinema has had a profound effect on the film making industries of India, with Chennai becoming a hub for the film making industries of other languages, including Telugu cinema, Malayalam cinema, Kannada cinema, Hindi cinema, Sinhalese cinema and Sri Lankan Tamil cinema in the 1900s. Tamil–language films are further made in other countries.

Today, Tamil films are distributed to various theatres around the world such as in Sri Lanka, Singapore, South Korea, Malayasia, Mauritius, South Africa, Western Europe, North America, and other significant Tamil diaspora regions. Hence, it has become the most largest film industry in India, next to Bollywood.
