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.
