Son of Sardaar was a remake of 2010 Telugu film Maryada Ramanna directed by S. S. Rajamouli. It featured Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla in lead roles.

The Diwali hit Son Of Sardaar (SOS) is the official remake of Tamil super-director S Rajamouli’s Maryada Ramanna. However the remake has deviated drastically from the original. Says the SOS director Ashwini Dhir, “I’d love Rajamouli to watch our film and tell us what he thinks of the changes that we’ve made in the original. We’ve deviated considerably from Rajamouli’s film. In Maryada Ramanna the lead is played by a famous comic actor of the South (Sunil). When Ajay Devgn took over the role, the comic element had to be seriously modified.”
