About Digital Turbo Media
Digital Turbo Media is a Kochi-based visual effects and post-production studio founded in 2014 by VFX artists and supervisors Lavan Prakashan and Kushan Prakashan, with co-founders Amritaa and Anju. Widely known as DTM, the studio works across Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi cinema, as well as streaming series, television and advertising.
The company grew from an early Kochi workspace into a production facility serving feature-film work across South Indian and pan-Indian markets. Its breakthrough came with Rajeev Ravi’s 2016 period drama Kammatti Padam, for which the team recreated historical Kochi neighbourhoods, architecture and skylines through digital environments and invisible-effects work. Since then, DTM has contributed to more than 600 feature films, commercial campaigns and streaming projects.
VFX and post-production capabilities
DTM combines creative supervision with a broad technical pipeline that includes:
- VFX supervision and creative art direction
- 2D and 3D node compositing, including high-end shot finaling in Nuke
- CG modelling, texturing, shading, lighting and rendering
- Photorealistic environment and asset look development
- Fluid, smoke, fire, particle and destruction simulations
- Digital matte painting, set extensions, matchmoving, camera tracking, rotoscoping and digital cleanup
The studio also develops hybrid, AI-assisted workflows that integrate custom ComfyUI node networks with established Nuke, Maya and Houdini production setups. This approach supports multi-pass compositing and photorealistic simulation work while retaining conventional VFX production disciplines.
Selected screen work
Notable credits include Hanu-Man, Kill, Kantara, Vettaiyan, Ullozhukku, Parking, Kathal, Ajayante Randam Moshanam (ARM), 777 Charlie, Virupaksha, Trance and Kammatti Padam. The team’s work on Hanu-Man was associated with the film’s 70th National Film Award for Best Film in AVGC, while Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota brought DTM a Best Visual Effects nomination at the 65th Filmfare Awards.
Alongside production, DTM supports professional VFX training and studio internships through its affiliated DTM VFX Skool programme.
More about Digital Turbo Media
Origins and training
The studio name was inspired by the animated feature Turbo, which Lavan Prakashan’s son was watching when the founders decided to relocate to Kerala.
Lavan and Kushan Prakashan had each developed their careers in the Mumbai and Bengaluru film hubs before establishing DTM; Lavan’s earlier experience included a tenure at Sahara Movie Studios. Through DTM VFX Skool, the founders also offer hands-on, studio-based education in AI-integrated visual effects, compositing and dynamic simulation, followed by a three-month internship at Digital Turbo Media.
