Aashirvad Cinemas (Malayalam: ആശിർവാദ് സിനിമാസ്) is a film production company founded by Antony Perumbavoor for producing Mohanlal's films. Aashirvad's first film was Narasimham, which became one of the biggest hits in Malayalam cinema.[1] Aashirvad has since produced many successful movies and has become one of the leading production houses in the Malayalam movie industry.

Aashirvad Cinemas evolved from a close friendship between producer Antony Perumbavoor and Malayalam actor Mohanlal, which began during the shooting of the film Pattanapravesham.

Aashirvad has established ties with other companies like Maxlab Cinemas and Entertainments to cooperate in the field of film production and distribution.

Aashirvad has produced two record-breaking blockbusters: Narasimham and Rasathanthram.[2]
