Maruthi Lashes Out At Directors
“People are talking like madmen just to attract audiences. They’re saying they’ll quit making films and using vulgar language. Just because one film didn’t work, do you have to stoop so low? If this film doesn’t succeed, another one will.
No one has written as many double-meaning dialogues as I have. But why am I not writing them now? Because I want families to come to the theatre. We must give them good cinema. The same director who was once labeled a “vulgar filmmaker” (Maurthi mentioning himself) is now making Raja Saab with a ₹400 crore budget.”
People Media Factory produces Raja Saab, and the makers confirmed that the 1st trailer is releasing for Dasara, and the trailer will be attached to Kantara 2. The first single will be out on Prabhas’ birthday, and the movie is set for a 9th January 2026, release.
