Early life
D. Ramanaidu was born on 6 June 1936 in
an agricultural family in,a village in Prakasam district in the present day
Andhra Pradesh. He completed his schooling in the village and had his college
education in Chirala and later graduated out of the Presidency College,
Chennai. He started his career as a rice-mill owner and later got into the
transport business. During this time, his father joined with a relative and
co-produced the Telugu film Nammina Bantu (1958), starring Akkineni Nageswara
Rao and Savitri. He performed the dupe of Rao in the film. The latter advised
him to get to Madras (now Chennai) and work with film-makers. He moved to
Madras in 1962. His frequent visits to the "Andhra Club" got him
acquainted with the Telugu film fraternities.
Film career
In 1963, Ramanaidu partnered with his
friends Tagirisa Hanumantha Rao and Yarlagadda Lakshmaiah Chowdary and
co-produced the commercially unsuccessful Anuragam (1963). Following that, he
established his own production house Suresh Productions, and produced Ramudu
Bheemudu (1964). Until the early 1970s, he kept to Telugu cinema and made films
such as Pratigna Palana (1965), Sri Krishna Tulabharam (1966), Shree Janma
(1967), Paapa Kosam (1968) and Sepoy Chinnaiah (1969). Ramudu Bheemudu remained
his only box office success during this period. In 1971, he produced Prem
Nagar, starring Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Vanisri. The film went on to become
a "blockbuster" and its success prompted Tamil and Hindi remakes
entitled Vasantha Maligai (1972) and Prem Nagar (1974), respectively.
As all the studios were based in Madras at that date, he started "Ramanaidu Studios" in Hyderabad with the help of the state government in 1983.While frequently making films in Telugu and Tamil, he branched out into the Kannada, Hindi, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya film, Gujarati, Bhojpuri and Punjabi industries. His Hindi films include Dildaar, Tohfa, Anari, Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain and Aaghaaz.As of 2015, he had made more than 130 films in 13 Indian languages. The feat earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2008. He played a full-length role for the first time in the 2007 Telugu film Hope.

three children, two sons and a daughter. His elder son Daggubati Suresh Babu is
