whose real and reel life were both enthused with a free spirit
Gemini
Ganesan, who died on March 22, was the last of the trinity of
celluloid pantheon in Tamil Nadu, where cinema is nothing short of
religion and stars no less than deities. The other two were M.G.
Ramachandran and Sivaji Ganesan. The three dominated Kollywood from
1950’s to 1980’s.

persists. The hero of such all-time hit as Mughal-e-Azam, Ganga-Jamuna
and Sagina Mahato has been the subject of countless books
over the years. And now a documentary is being made on him, by none
other than Subhash Ghai.
