History
Seventh Channel Communications was set up in 1985 by Manickam Narayanan. After beginning his career as a photographer, Manickam went on to make programmes for Doordarshan. The studio went on to become a premier producer for Tamil television serials and films in the 1990s. During the peak of its operation, the studio was able to attract several film actors to work on television serials including Sivakumar, Roja and S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. The studio has also been involved in the restaurant business, the hosting of live entertainment shows, the International Tamil Film Awards, and the Tamil Nadu Film Festival.

In 2005, Seventh Channel Communications stepped in to take over the production of Gautham Vasudev Menon's Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu (2006) starring Kamal Haasan, after the producers at Roja Combines and Oscar Films opted out.

The studio produced Magizh Thirumeni's Mundhinam Paartheney (2010) featuring newcomers Sanjay, Ekta Ghosla, Lizna, Pooja and Vithagan (2011) starring Parthiban and Poorna. In the early 2010s, Seventh Channel collaborated with Star Vijay to dub and release Mahabharat (2013) in the Tamil language.
