History

Wunderbar Films was established by actor Dhanush and his wife Aishwarya on 20 May 2010.[1] The studio was named "Wunderbar", which means "wonderful" in German, out of sentimental value. Earlier short films made by Dhanush, although not released to the public, had the banner "Wunderbar", which they picked up from the 2009 film Inglourious Basterds.[2][3]
