బరితెగించిన వైసీపీ..ఫేక్ జీవోలతో ఏపీ సర్కార్ ప్రతిష్టను దిగజార్చే యత్నం | YCP Fake JO’s

Every director faces setbacks in their career, and Maruthi is no exception. While he has delivered flops in the past, the backlash following The Raja Saab seems to be on an entirely different level.

The criticism intensified after the film’s OTT premiere, with social media users dissecting several scenes and calling out what they described as outdated and uninspired writing. Clips and screenshots from certain sequences have gone viral, further fueling the trolling. Some netizens have even drawn unflattering comparisons with Meher Ramesh, making the online chatter even harsher.

Amid the negativity, industry buzz suggests that top stars may be cautious about collaborating with him at this point. Although Maruthi recently mentioned plans to direct a film with Chiranjeevi, insiders claim that securing dates—even from mid-range heroes—could prove challenging in the current scenario.

However, trade analysts believe it may be too early to write him off. Maruthi initially built his reputation with youthful entertainers featuring newcomers and fresh talent. A return to that space, with a sharper focus on strong writing and vibrant storytelling, could help him stage a solid comeback.
