History
2D Entertainment was established in India in 2013 by the Tamil actor Suriya. The company was created as a film-industry business connected to Suriya's work as a performer and producer. Its name comes from the initial letters of his children, Diya and Dev. From its inception, the company was positioned within Tamil cinema, where it could participate in the development, production, distribution, and related commercial activities surrounding feature films. The company has been associated with a broader family and professional network. Rajsekar Pandian is identified among the key people involved, while Jyothika and Karthi—Suriya's wife and younger brother, respectively—are also linked to the business. Public reference material does not provide a detailed corporate organization chart, so the precise responsibilities and tenure of these individuals should not be inferred beyond their documented association. 2D Entertainment's documented distribution activity includes Singam 2 in 2013, followed by Kadugu in 2017, Sillu Karupatti in 2019, Gargi in 2022, and My Lord listed for 2026. These credits indicate that the company has operated not only as a production label but also as a distributor of Tamil or Indian feature films. The company has additionally been credited with producing soundtracks for Kadugu and Magalir Mattum in 2017. The company's wider film associations include titles that received significant awards attention. At the 64th National Film Awards, 24 was connected with awards for cinematography and production design. Soorarai Pottru later received the Best Film–Tamil award at the 10th South Indian International Movie Awards. At the 68th National Film Awards, the film was associated with awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Feature Film, Best Music Direction for background score, and Best Screenplay. These recognitions strengthened the company's profile as a participant in ambitious and critically recognized Tamil-language cinema. The available references do not supply a complete list of all films produced by 2D Entertainment, detailed production budgets, revenue figures, employee numbers, corporate registration information, or a confirmed headquarters address.
