Aranmanai (transl. Palace) is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language comedy horror film directed by Sundar C. Produced by Vision i Medias, it is the first film in the Aranmanai series. Loosely based on Aayiram Jenmangal (1978), the film features an ensemble cast including Sundar, Vinay, Santhanam, Hansika Motwani, Andrea Jeremiah, and Raai Laxmi. In the film, a family returns to their hometown to sell their ancestral palace, but their arrival is marked by supernatural events, and a relative of the family decides to uncover the truth.

Production

Sundar C stated that he initially felt the horror genre would only appeal to men, but seeing how his family enjoyed a horror film, he was inspired to make one which became Aranmanai. Hansika Motwani confirmed in September 2013 that she had signed the film. She also stated she plays the main lead and that the story revolves around her character, which was later reported to be a woman with supernatural powers.

Filming started in late September 2013 at Pollachi. The film largely takes place in a palace, for which a set created by Mohan Babu in Hyderabad was used. ₹2 crore were spent for renovating the palace, in which 70 per cent of the film was shot. Sundar revealed the film would feature over an hour of computer-generated imagery (CGI). Filming was completed in January 2014, while post-production took over six months due to the extensive CGI.
