Director Maruthi’s rise from a successful director who allegedly introduced the trend of low-budget adult-content movies to a filmmaker who delivers clean entertainers is very inspiring. The main ingredient of his stories has been ‘heroes’ novel characterization’.
In ‘Kotha Janta’, the first clean film from Maruthi, he showed Sirish as a selfish guy. In Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, Maruthi showed Nani as a youth with memory loss problem. He then explored the OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) point in Sharwa’s “Mahanubhavudu”. He is dealing with a new point in each film, and scoring hits.
And, the successful director is exploring the lesser-explored subject of ‘Ego’ in his next film. We have learnt that Maruthi’s new film, to star Naga Chaitanya, will show the hero character having excessive ego. Maruthi is adept in generating fun through such novel points and ending the films on an emotional note, and the same can be expected from the film starring Chaitu.
Tentatively titled ‘Sailaja Reddy Alludu’, the film has reigning starlet Anu Emmanuel playing the female lead. Based on the title, it can be inferred that Chaitu’s ego will be pitted against not the heroine but her mother character, something on the lines of Atha vs Alludu point.
