The studio collaborated with actor Sathyaraj and director Sakthi Chidambaram on multiple ventures in the early 2000s, before running into financial trouble through the making of Bala's Pithamagan (2003).
Durai and Evergreen Movie International worked as executive producers for the making of Suresh Krishna's Baba (2002) starring Rajinikanth.
[5][6] As a result of the complications following Pithamagan's release, Durai produced Gajendra under a different production studio named Tamilanai Cine Creation.
[13][14] In late-September 2008, a complaint had been lodged by director Ram Shiva alleging that the story had been taken from the Kannada film Nanda Loves Nanditha.
He alleged that Durai tried to buy the rights for remaking the film in Tamil but his efforts were in vain and had decided to plagiarise the script as a result.
