[1] Subsequent successful ventures included Balaji Mohan's romantic comedy films Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi (2013) and Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (2014), which were recognised by critics for their innovative narratives.

Many of their following films, Pushkar–Gayathri's crime drama Vikram Vedha (2017), Prasanna's comedy-drama Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017), C. S. Amudhan's Tamizh Padam 2 (2018) and Ashwin Saravanan's psychological thriller Game Over (2019) were commercial successes.

[2][3] Featuring a relatively new technical crew and a rookie cast led by Shiva, Sashikanth opted to sell the film to Dayanidhi Azhagiri's Cloud Nine Movies to ensure it received a wide release.

Telling the tale of a man hunting for liquor on a dry day in Chennai before leaving to Saudi Arabia, the film was completely shot within the city and was again distributed with the assistance of Cloud Nine Movies.

[6][7] The studio next produced Balaji Mohan's Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi (2012), which was simultaneously made in Telugu as Love Failure (2012), and both films opened to critical and commercial acclaim.

[11] The success of their first collaboration prompted YNOT Studios to produce Balaji's next bilingual project, the comedy-drama Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (2014) starring Dulquer Salmaan and Nazriya in the lead roles, which was shot in Tamil and Malayalam.

[15] The company's next release was Vasanthabalan's historical drama Kaaviya Thalaivan (2014), which narrated the tale of two stage actors who compete for roles, love, and the future of India during its quest for independence.

Kaaviya Thalaivan was announced in September 2012 and research work for the final script was carried out for nearly a year wherein facts, references and whereabouts were collected from veteran theatre artists across Tamil Nadu.

The company collaborated with the director Sudha Kongara, actor Madhavan, and debutante actress Ritika Singh to produce a bilingual sports drama film titled Irudhi Suttru (2016) in Tamil and Saala Khadoos (2016) in Hindi, which told the story of a boorish boxing coach taking on a rebellious young woman from a fishermen colony as his new student.

Having been in talks with the duo since their previous joint venture in 2010, Sashikanth confirmed that pre-production work was ongoing by early 2015 and revealed that the film would tell the tale of an encounter cop and his pursuit of a gangster.

[27][28] The directors revealed that the story for the film was inspired by the Indian meta-folktale Baital Pachisi (Vedhala Kadhai in Tamil), with the characterisation of King Vikramadithyan and the celestial spirit Vedhalam derived from that plot.

[39][40][41] YNOT Studios achieved further commercial success with R. S. Prasanna's Hindi comedy-drama Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017), which was co-produced in association with Colour Yellow Productions and Eros International.

Featuring Dhanush and James Cosmo in leading roles, the film narrated the tale of a carefree gangster in Madurai who is recruited to help an overseas crime lord take down a rival.

[54][55] In the early 2020s, YNOT Studios simultaneously worked on producing a number of smaller ventures with "off-beat" scripts including Halitha Shameem's Aelay (2021), Madonne Ashwin's Mandela (2021), Nishanth Kalidindi's Kadaseela Biriyani (2021) and Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan's Thalaikoothal (2023).
