Kodambakkam
Kodambakkam earned its fame as the epicentre of the Tamil film industry, with legendary studios like AVM, Vijaya Vauhini, and Prasad Studios establishing their base here from the 1940s onwards. While many studios have given way to residential developments, the neighbourhood retains its cinematic legacy. Strategically located between T. Nagar and Vadapalani, Kodambakkam is well connected by bus and road, and its high street along Arcot Road is one of Chennai's busiest commercial stretches.
