== History ==
In September 2004, director [[Bala (director)|Bala]] revealed that he had launched his own production house, B Studios, to "give opportunity for new talent". He announced his intentions of producing two films a year and also venturing into ad films. Subsequently, the first venture was ''[[Maayavi]]'' (2005) directed by [[Singampuli]], a comedy film starring [[Suriya]] and [[Jyothika]] in the lead roles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/lf/2004/09/21/stories/2004092113060200.htm|website=[[The Hindu]]|title=Life Chennai : Maayavi, Bala's production venture|date=2004-09-21|accessdate=11 August 2018}}{{dead link|date=April 2021|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2004/oct/20spice.htm|title=Meera Jasmine: Penniless!|website=Rediff.com|accessdate=11 August 2018}}</ref> As a result of their association in ''[[Naan Kadavul]]'' in late 2005, B Studios agreed to produce [[Ajith Kumar]]'s ''[[Paramasivan]]'' (2006), but later opted out.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ajithkumar.free.fr/news/news_183.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=7 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180208064442/http://ajithkumar.free.fr/news/news_183.htm |archive-date=8 February 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref> B Studios were also briefly involved with the production of [[Vishnuvardhan (director)|Vishnuvardhan]]'s ''[[Sarvam]]'' (2009) during June 2006, when the film was announced with [[Suriya]] and [[Ileana D'Cruz]] in the lead roles. Initially planned as a co-production with [[Studio Green]], the film failed to progress and was released with different makers and a different cast in 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news/june-06-04/29-06-06-ajith.html|title=Tamil movies : Vishnuvardhan and Ajith – ‘Not now’, says Vishnu!|website=Behindwoods.com|accessdate=11 August 2018}}</ref>

Following the release of [[Naan Kadavul]] in early 2009, Bala announced that he would finance another film with [[Suriya]] for director [[Singampuli]] and a film with [[Jayam Ravi]] for [[Aacharya Ravi]], but neither materialised.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/from-mentor-to-protege-tamil-news-44857|title=From mentor to protege – Tamil Movie News|website=IndiaGlitz.com|accessdate=11 August 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ayngaran.com/frame.php?iframepath=newsdetails.php?newsid=1117|title=Ayngaran International|website=Syngaran.com|accessdate=11 August 2018}}</ref> Bala has since financed his own projects, as well as individual films from [[Mysskin]] and [[A.
