Maruthi Goes Back To What He Knows Best
After the release of “The Raja Saab”, many expected that it was going to be very tough for director Maruthi, because delivering a flop with a superstar often affects the careers of directors big time
By: Shanaz B Syed | 26 Oct 2026 1:46 PM ISTAfter the release of “The Raja Saab”, many expected that it was going to be very tough for director Maruthi, because delivering a flop with a superstar often affects the careers of directors big time. Though rumours are rife that Maruthi is trying to get dates from heroes like Sai Dharam Tej and others, nothing seems to be shaping up. Here’s the latest rumour.
In fact, director Maruthi is known for making movies with newcomers and impressing the audience with his concept itself. That's how he made movies like Eerojullo a hit at first, and later his movies like Bhale Bhale Magadivoyi also gave big hits to the heroes. Going into the same path again, Maruthi has now decided to make a movie with a newcomer, who happens to be his nephew and the film work has already started. Reports are coming that the actors will be newcomers in the movie, which happens to be a love story.
On the other hand, if this film clicks big time like a Baby or Maruthi’s previous movies, surely the director will bounce back like a phoenix from the ashes and he will be coming back into the big form again. But then, many wondered if the director is going in the right direction, because making a movie with newcomers after making a movie with India’s biggest superstar, in itself, is a surprising thing.
