Attarintiki Daredi (transl. Which way to aunt's house?) is a 2013 Indian Telugu-language action comedy film written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas. Produced by Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra and Reliance Entertainment, the film stars Pawan Kalyan, Samantha and Pranitha Subhash. Nadhiya, Boman Irani and Brahmanandam feature in supporting roles. The film score and soundtrack album were composed by Devi Sri Prasad. Prasad Murella was the cinematographer.
The film focuses on Gautham Nanda, a business heir who acts as a driver in his estranged aunt Sunanda's house to mend her strained relationship with his grandfather Raghunandan who expelled her for marrying against his wishes years before. Attarintiki Daredi was made on a budget of ₹55 crore. Principal photography began in January 2013 and ended in July 2013, with the film being primarily shot in and around Hyderabad. Significant portions were shot in Pollachi and Europe.
Prior to the film's release, on 22 September 2013, 90-minute footage of the film was leaked online and was widely shared leading to a delay in its release. The film was released on 27 September 2013 and received positive critical reception. Despite the leak of half of the film prior to its release, Attarintiki Daredi became the highest grossing Telugu film of all time surpassing Magadheera (2009). It was later surpassed by Baahubali: The Beginning (2015).[3] The film won four Nandi Awards, four Filmfare Awards South, and the B. Nagi Reddy Memorial Award. It was remade into Kannada as Ranna (2015), in Bengali as Abhimaan (2016), and in Tamil as Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven (2019).
