Answer:
Gemini Studios was an Indian film studio based in Madras (now Chennai), Tamil Nadu. The owner of the studio was S. S. Vasan. He bought the studio in an auction and renamed it as Gemini Studios. He named the studio after the astrological sign of his wife and not as a jackpot - winning horse as widely believed. The façade displayed the statues of The Gemini Twins’, blowing the bugle. It was the breeding ground of numerous artists and technicians in the sourthern part of India. The Gemini twins symbol became very popular and became a household symbol. It is one of the few studios to survive beyond a hundred productions with AVM, Modern Theatres, Thenandal Films, etc.
S.S.Vasan bought a Film distribution business Motion Picture Producers' Combines studio on Mount Road from his friend K. Subramanyam for whopping Rs.86,427-11-9, the odd figure arrived at through including the interest on unpaid wages of the employees and it was renamed as Gemini Studios in the year 1940.
