Tamil cinema has witnessed the emergence of many remarkable talents over the years, but only a few choose to transition from working behind celebrated productions to building a creative identity of their own. Embarking on such an inspiring journey are Aasheesha Srinivasan and Rhea Kongara, two accomplished young professionals who have earned valuable experience across some of the most acclaimed and successful projects in the industry. Together, they have now launched their production house, Take A Shot, aiming to create content that is rooted in strong storytelling and contemporary sensibilities.
At just 29, Aasheesha Srinivasan, a former student of Sishya School and a Business graduate from the University of Nottingham and Imperial College London, has steadily built an impressive profile in film production. She worked in the production department under legendary filmmaker Mani Ratnam on films including Kaatru Veliyidai, Vaanam Kottattum, Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1, and Ponniyin Selvan: Part 2. She further expanded her experience at Lyca Productions, contributing to major projects such as Vettaiyan and Vidaamuyarchi under G.K.M. Tamil Kumaran. More recently, she was associated with the promotional campaign of KHxRK.
Rhea Kongara, co-founder of Take A Shot, is a former student of Rishi Valley School and an Economics graduate from Stella Maris College. Having worked closely on Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1 and Part 2 in the production division, she went on to serve as Executive Producer on notable projects including Soorarai Pottru, Ilamai Idho Idho, Raghu Thatha, and Parasakthi. Among her recent professional engagements was her association with the promotional campaign of KHxRK.
Having observed cinema from close quarters and worked alongside some of the industry’s most respected names, Aasheesha and Rhea now channel their experience and creative aspirations into Take A Shot. The Production House aims to craft meaningful stories, fresh perspectives, and distinctive ideas while creating feature films that can connect with audiences across demographics and generations.
Rooted in experience and shaped by a genuine love for cinema, Take A Shot represents the coming together of two young professionals with a shared creative vision.
As “Take A Shot” takes shape as a promising new production house, the official announcement regarding its maiden venture is expected to be made soon.
