IIM Kozhikode Students Continue to Break Barriers, Launch Own Production House

IIM students continue to break barriers and take the road less traveled. In yet another instance of IIM students chasing their dreams, two final year students of IIM Kozhikode - Sreerama Suprath and Ashish Sinha - have started their own production house - 12th Man Productions.

The first movie from their production house is a silent movie called 'Deceit', which promises to be a fast-paced thriller. The movie is written, directed as well as produced by them with actors from the IIM-K student community. The movie was premiered at the IIM-K grand auditorium on the eve of convocation of the passing batch of 2008 to a packed and varied audience ranging from the student fraternity to the family members of the passing batch to noted dignitaries from the corporate world who had come to bless the convocation ceremony. The movie received rave and positive reviews from the audience and was praised for its sheer professionalism, despite the various constraints faced by the students.

K. Unnikrishnan Nair, PGP Chairperson, IIM-K, said, "I am pleased to see the final year students of our PGP program coming up with an innovative concept. The trend has been to experiment more with ventures in dotcom and other familiar sectors. But a start-up in a completely different domain is what truly differentiates this and makes it look promising."

The movie is also being promoted among young executives. Manish Kumar, Brand Manager, Kinetic, commented, "Excellent effort, taking into consideration the limited training on film-making and the time and resource constraint in a B-school. A simple story presented in a very innovative way."
