Planned for the former drive-in theatre site
The project is planned on the former Prarthana Drive-in Theatre land on East Coast Road in Injambakkam. The theatre opened in 1991 and closed in 2021; its site was acquired by Baashyaam Constructions in 2023. The project is listed as upcoming as of October 2026.
Baashyaam Prarthana is described as a residential villa community, rather than an apartment development. Reports put the site at 29 acres. A 2023 report on the acquisition said the land was intended for an ultra-luxury villa project.
Villa details and pricing
The planned homes are independent villas with stated built-up areas ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 sq ft. The project listing gives the price as on request. No possession timeline is included in the available project details.
Descriptions of the proposed homes mention private pools, landscaped gardens and wide balconies. These are expectations for the development, not confirmation that construction is complete.
Injambakkam and ECR context
Injambakkam sits on East Coast Road, with State Highway 49 and the 200 Feet Radial Road among the routes connecting the area. The OMR IT corridor and employment centres in Sholinganallur, Thoraipakkam and Tharamani are nearby. Local amenities include schools and hospitals, while malls along OMR include BSR Mall and Vivira Mall.
The site’s former use as a drive-in theatre is part of its history: Prarthana was reported as India’s first drive-in theatre. A proposed Lulu Mall at the former theatre site was the subject of rumours in 2023; that report does not establish a confirmed mall project.
