'''Avni Cinemax''' is an Indian [[film producer|film production]] and [[film distributor|distribution]] company headed by [[Khushbu]] and [[Sundar C.]]<ref>http://www.island.lk/2005/01/23/leisure6.html</ref>

== History ==
[[Khushbu]] made her debut as a film producer through the action drama film ''[[Giri (film)|Giri]]'' (2004) directed by her husband [[Sundar C]] and featuring [[Arjun Sarja|Arjun]], [[Reemma Sen]] and [[Divya Spandana]] in the lead roles. The film performed well at the box office, prompting her to carry on as a producer and she next made ''[[Rendu]]'', a comedy drama featuring [[R. Madhavan|Madhavan]] in the lead role.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/may-06-04/28-05-06-kushboo.html|title=Tamil movies : Kushboo and Maxim to settle out of court?|website=www.behindwoods.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/features/Previews/Preview3/html/giri-sneal-peak.html|title=Unleashed Entertainment in Tamil Cinema|website=www.behindwoods.com}}</ref>

In 2016, a partner group from the parent Avni Groups company called Avni Movies produced the film, ''[[Hello Naan Pei Pesuren]]'', with [[Sundar C]] being given production credits. The film was however also promoted through Avni Cinemax's official online pages. The same procedure was then followed for ''[[Meesaiya Murukku]]'' (2017).
