Sri Sri Sri Maryada Ramanna is a 1967 Telugu-language comedy drama film directed by K. Hemambharadhara Rao and written by Veeturi. The film stars Padmanabham in the title role, alongside Geetanjali, Mukkamala, Rajanala, Prabhakar Reddy, and Raja Babu in supporting roles. Krishna, Sobhan Babu, and Haranath made guest appearances in a song featuring Rajasree. The music for Sri Sri Sri Maryada Ramanna was composed by S. P. Kodandapani, with lyrics by Veeturi.
The film explores the story of a shepherd boy, Rami, who transforms into Ramanna with the blessings of a sage and helps resolve the kingdom’s oppressive taxation issues. Known for blending comedy with a socially relevant theme, the film became commercially successful.
Notably, the film marked the playback singing debut of S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, who sang the song "Emiyee Vinta Moham!" under the guidance of his mentor, S. P. Kodandapani. Balasubrahmanyam’s performance was well received and marked the beginning of his illustrious career in playback singing.
