Celador was originally taken over by Complete Communications but was later bought back by its management. It produces films on a small scale by contracting freelance staff for each project and obtaining funding through various means like bank loans or co-productions. Celador has produced seven films since 1999 across different genres that it markets and distributes, in addition to operating two radio stations. While a small company, Celador has found success with films like Slumdog Millionaire, though it faces competition from larger studios like Sony Pictures that have significantly higher production budgets.
