Maryada Ramanna is a 2010 Indian Telugu-language action comedy drama film co-written & directed by S. S. Rajamouli from story & dialogues written by S. S. Kanchi. The film is produced by Shobu Yarlagadda and Prasad Devineni under Arka Media Works. The film stars Sunil, Saloni and Nagineedu. It has music composed by M. M. Keeravani with cinematography and editing performed by Ram Prasad and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao respectively. It is based on the 1923 silent movie Our Hospitality. [4][5]
When Rajamouli watched Buster Keaton’s silent comedy film, Our Hospitality, he liked it immensely and wished to re-tell the same story in his own way.[6] He attempted to contact the original creators but found out that the original writers of the film were long dead and that the film's copyright had expired as it had been over 75 years since the film's release.[7] S. S. Kanchi and Rajamouli adapted the story with a Rayalaseema backdrop, focusing on the factional violence and hospitality that co-existed in the region.[8][9][6]
Released on 23 July 2010, the film opened to favourable reviews with critics and audiences alike. Made on a budget of ₹12–14 crore (US$2.6–3.1 million), the film was commercially successful and grossed ₹40 crore ($8.75 million) at the box office with a distributors' share of over ₹28.5 crore ($6.23 million).[8][a] It became one of the highest grossing Telugu films of 2010.[2][11][12] It received four Nandi Awards, including Best Popular Feature Film.

In one area of Andhra Pradesh family feuds that persist for many generations is a reality. That's what I showed in Maryada Ramanna. I saw families that were perfectly cultured and courteous, killing each other. I don't think this peculiar contradictory culture of the co-existence of violence and hospitality exists in Punjab.
Top director Rajamouli's Maryada Ramanna starring Sunil and Saloni collected about Rs 30 Crores.
