The making of Tamil films outside its motherland of Tamil Nadu is actively growing. With Tamil diaspora worldwide, there are many enthusiastic filmmakers who want to make their mark. Particularly more films are coming from Singapore and Malaysia.[1]
The history of film-making of Tamil language film in Malaysia date back to the early 1970s and the Singapore Tamil cinemas date back in the 2008s. In 2008 Eric Khoo's Tamil language social drama My Magic became Singapore's first film to compete for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.[2] Estate Boy is the first Tamil animated series made in Malaysia.
