History
Mohanlal initially established Vismaya Max Audio, a recording studio, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It housed two studios named Prarthana and Pooja. In 2002, the studio underwent relocation to Kinfra Film and Video Park in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, following a joint venture with the Indian arm of the multimedia college School of Audio Engineering (SAE College). During this transition, an open-air facility for film production was set up in Thiruvananthapuram, with Access Atlantech Edutainment serving as their technology partner.

Subsequently, in 2005, Mohanlal founded Vismayas Max Studios, headquartered in Thiruvananthapuram with a branch in Kochi. It was the first DTS mixing studio in Kerala. It remained the only DTS studio facility in Kerala until 2013. In 2014, Vismayas Max Studios was taken over by the United Arab Emirates-based BizTV Network, a media company within the Aries Group of Companies owned by Sohan Roy. The studio was then rebranded as Aries Vismayas Max. Mohanlal continued as the brand ambassador. Filmmaker B. Unnikrishnan was appointed as the managing director.

In 2015, they opened the first Dolby Atmos mixing studio in Kerala. In 2017, Aries Guinness Chundan, the longest steel-made snake boat, which entered the Limca Book of Records and Asian Book of Records was installed for display at the studio.
