Well, not that Maruthi always wants to hear only praises, but he certainly wants to be taken as seriously as some other directors like Sukumar.
He does show that vibe in his films by making one or other character to deliver a punch line against them, deliberately.
But actor Sharwanand seems to be not in such mood. He is plain, simple and open about what he feels in an interview that Maruthi did with Sharwanand.
Maruthi looked a bit uncomfortable to hear heaps of praises on Hanu Raghavapudi from Sharwanand. While he was game enough to cover it up but occasionally he did have one or the other word with Sharwanand to divert him from praising Hanu.
When Sharwanand said Padi Padi Leche Manasu will be his best film, Maruthi corrected it by saying in love stories of his career.
Sharwanand though did not divert much and in fact at one point, directly said to Maruthi that his style and judgement are completely different from Hanu, praising the latter to skies.
Maruthi did want Sharwanand to comment on reviews, but he plainly said that he respects all opinions. May be such interviews are not Maruthi's cup of tea!
