Business.
Before venturing into film production, Chandrasekharan was a distributor and owner of a three-screen theatre in Salem named ARK Complex. His first production was "Sullan" (2004) and later was supposed to produce Vetrimaaran's debut film "Desiya Nedunchaalai" with Dhanush, which was later shelved. Despite the success of "Ghajini" (2005), his following ventures did not perform well. His final project, "Killadi" (2015), released almost a decade after the film was shot, owing to financial problems. He later sold his theatres to Aascar Ravichandran.
