Sobhanachala Studios was an Indian film production and distribution house which produced films predominantly in Telugu cinema. It was perhaps the first studio owned by a Telugu in Madras. The studio was located in Teynampet, Madras (now Chennai). Mirzapuram Raja (Meka Venkatramaiah Appa Rao Bahadur) who had earlier produced films on the "Jaya Films" banner has established Sobhanachala Studios in 1941. The studio was notable for introducing scores of technicians and artists to Telugu cinema. Notable people introduced to the Telugu film industry by the studio were Anjali Devi (Gollabhama), N. T. Rama Rao (Mana Desam), Ghantasala (Lakshmamma) etc.
Its first film was Daksha Yagnam (1941). Some of the most notable films produced by the studio are Gollabhama, Keelu Gurram, Mana Desam, Lakshmamma and Tilottama. The studio produced many notable films in the early history of Telugu talkie cinema in the 1940s. However, with the opening of Vauhini Studios, the pace of Sobhanahala's movie production has reduced. The studio changed the hands to a new owner in 1955 and got re-branded as Venus Studios. After functioning for over a decade, Venus Studios was defunct in the 1950s.
