Why Chennai Is a VFX Hub

Chennai’s VFX ecosystem is rooted in its cinematic legacy. It is the heart of Kollywood, with decades of post-production expertise anchored by giants like Prasad Studios, founded in 1956. Over the decades, Chennai matured from a regional base into a global visual effects delivery hub, supplying to Bollywood, Hollywood, and leading OTT platforms.

According to Vitrina’s July 2025 report, Chennai’s mix of technical scale, low-cost talent, and cinematic know-how makes it one of India’s most powerful post-production zones—rivaled only by Hyderabad and Mumbai.
