History

Mohanlal had set up a recording studio called Vismaya Max Audio in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, housing two studios named Prarthana and Pooja. In 2002, its location was shifted to Kinfra Film and Video Park in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. The move was following a joint venture with the Indian arm of the multimedia college School of Audio Engineering (SAE College). An open-air facility for film production was set up in Thiruvananthapuram. Access Atlantech Edutainment was their technology partner.[1]

Vismayas Max Studios was founded by Mohanlal in 2005.[2] It is headquartered in Thiruvananthapuram, with a branch in Kochi. It was the first DTS mixing studio in Kerala.[3] It remained the only DTS studio facility in Kerala until 2013.[4] In 2014, Vismayas Max Studios was taken over by the United Arab Emirates-based BizTV Network, a media company among the Aries Group of Companies owned by Sohan Roy. The studio was henceforth renamed as Aries Vismayas Max. Even though, Mohanlal continues as the brand ambassador.[3][5] Filmmaker B. Unnikrishnan was appointed as the managing director of the studio.[6]

In 2015, they opened the first Dolby Atmos mixing studio in Kerala.[7] 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.[8] In 2020, Aries Vismayas Max became the first studio in the state to install the Wolf AirMask in their premise, that can ionize the air and prevent coronavirus without the need to use face masks.[9]
