one
of
Indian
cinema's
popular

Its

continues
to
the
present
day
as
the
organisation
continues
to
back
meaningful

entertaining

Founded
by

in
1963,
the
company's
first
Telugu

was
Anuragam,
which
was
unsuccessful
at
the
Box
Office.
Following
Anuragam,
Ramanaidu's
career
was
resurrected
with
Telugu
film
Ramudu
Bheemudu,
which
released
May
21,
1964
and
created
a
sensation.
The
film's
overwhelming
success
paved
the
way
for
Tamil
as
well
as
Hindi
remakes
as
Nam
Naadu
and
Ram
Aur
Shyam,
respectively.
Since
then,
he
has
produced
over
200
films
in
15
Indian
languages
and
is
the
holder
of
a
Guinness
Record,
which
he
received
in
1999,
for
producing
films
in
the
maximum
number
of
languages.
The
company
is
known
for
producing
memorable
Telugu
films
such
as
Prem
Nagar,
Jeevana
Tarangalu
and
Secretary.
In
Hindi,
it
has
produced
films
such
as
Prem
Nagar,
Dildaar,
Dilwala
and
Anari.
In
2013,
Ramanaidu
produced
the
Punjabi
film
Singh
Vs
Kaur,
which
was
a
box
office
hit.
The
production
house
has
also
produced
films
in
Tamil,
Oriya,
English,
Kannada,
Malayalam
and
several
other
Indian
languages.
The
77-year-old
Ramanaidu
handed
over
the
reins
of
his
company
long
back
to
his
son
Suresh
Babu,
who
currently
heads
it.
Ramanaidu's
younger
son
Venkatesh
and
grandson
Rana
Daggubati
are
popular
actors
in
Telugu
filmdom.
"Celebrating

years

Productions
today," posted

Daggubati

special
occasion
on
