History

Annayum Rasoolum, released in 2012, marked E4 Entertainment's debut venture. Starring Fahadh Faasil, Andrea Jeremiah, Sunny Wayne, among others, and directed by Rajeev Ravi.

Following this success, E4 Entertainment ventured into Malayalam cinema with films like Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi directed by Sameer Thahir and North 24 Kaatham[4] directed by Anil Radhakrishnan Menon. In 2014, Ohm Shanthi Oshaana directed by Jude Anthany Joseph proved to be a breakthrough, completing 100 successful days in 12 screens.
