Pranavam Arts International

[1] Pranavam Art's first production was the 1990 musical-drama film His Highness Abdullah directed by Sibi Malayil and written by A. K. Lohithadas, in which Mohanlal portrayed a contract killer who disguise as a singer to infiltrate a palace for killing the head of the family.

[6] In the following year, Mohanlal produced and starred in Pingami, a drama thriller directed by Sathyan Anthikkad, in which he played Captain Vijay Menon who investigates the trail of a murder.

It was based on the life of Indian freedom fighters incarcerated in the Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands during British Raj.

Lohithadas wrote and directed Pranavam's seventh production, Kanmadam (1998), a drama set in a remote village in Palakkad, where a stranger (portrayed by Mohanlal) reaches to hand over the belongings of a man he accidentally killed.

[9] In the same year, the company produced a detective comedy, Harikrishnans, starring Mohanlal and Mammootty as two attorneys investigating a murder.

Eventually, the unapproved alternate ending (in which Meera gets to marry Hari) was to be pulled off from theatres to settle the issue.

[12] Mohanlal played Varghese Antony IPS, a cop who is tasked with investigating a terrorist attack that require him to go undercover as a physical trainer in a boarding school.

In the same year, the company co-produced the Indo-French period drama Vanaprastham directed by Shaji N. Karun and produced by Pierre Assouline.

The company's name was updated to Pranavam Arts International and co-produced the Major Ravi-directed military film Kandahar.
