Director Maruthi has apologized to NTR fans for his indirect comments at the song launch event of his film "The Raja Saab". The comments, which were perceived as a dig at NTR's fans, sparked backlash on social media. Maruthi clarified that he never intended to hurt or disrespect anyone and that his words were taken out of context.
In a heartfelt post on X, Maruthi expressed his respect for Jr NTR and his fans, stating that he values the love they have for cinema and their hero. He regretted that his words were received in the wrong way and hoped that fans would understand his intention. The controversy arose when Maruthi praised Prabhas and said he would avoid using the phrase "collar lifting" as it wouldn't suit Prabhas' larger than life image, which was misinterpreted as a comparison.
The song launch event, which was attended by Prabhas fans, was a grand affair, with the song "Rebel Saab" receiving a positive response. The film, produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment, is scheduled for release on January 9 and is expected to be a solid theatrical experience. With music by Thaman, the song features Sanjith Hegde and Blaaze, with lyrics by Ramajogayya Sastry.
Maruthi's apology has been well received by fans, and the team hopes that the situation will settle down soon, allowing the focus to return to the song and upcoming promotions. The Raja Saab is a crucial project for Maruthi, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release.

She said&nbsp; &ldquo;Everybody I know, or is on my Instagram feed, or I&rsquo;ve spoken to, or I&rsquo;ve tagged, or I&rsquo;m following started writing to me saying that it doesn&rsquo;t look like it&rsquo;s you. Somebody&rsquo;s trying to connect pretending to be you.\"\r\nShe said While initially, she chose not to address it publicly because she did not want to &ldquo;give unnecessary importance to somebody,&rdquo; but the impersonator&rsquo;s actions escalated pushing her to take drastic steps. &ldquo;This guy just kept talking to people, asking and sending not-so-good messages, so it became something I had to address. It was getting out of hand,&rdquo;\r\nOn stopping her impersonators, she said &ldquo;How would I know that? That&rsquo;s a bit too much to go behind. We told the cybercrime, we told people it&rsquo;s going on, and we&rsquo;ve made it clear that it&rsquo;s not me.&thinsp;I am just hoping no one gets fooled by the impersonator.&rdquo;\r\nShriya continued &ldquo;This is not the first time someone has done this, but this is the first time I took a proper stand against it.&thinsp;This is no. or whatsap profile pic, but my that&rsquo;s not all.&thinsp;&thinsp;There are so many morphes pictures of mine, which look so real. What can you really do? People are mad. You have to be careful, but beyond a point, if something is affecting other people, you have to address it.&rdquo;\r\nShriya added, &ldquo;Almost every day I see a picture of mine which is not me: somebody else&rsquo;s body and my face, on my Insta feed.&thinsp;My family has to go through all this, sometimes they even get fooled with the AI images.&thinsp;It&rsquo;s becoming difficult to distinguish between fake and real. Sometimes they do a good job and it&rsquo;s really hard to tell. I&rsquo;m like, &rsquo;Is it me?&rsquo; It looks so close to what I look like. That&rsquo;s when the problem really comes because it can fool family and people I know.&rdquo;\r\nShriya pointed. &ldquo;I have a profile which says my name and something else, which looks verified. They just put a blue tick mark. Verification is also something people can just buy now. You don&rsquo;t know, you will never know.&rdquo; Despite other celebrities taking legal routes against such misuse, Shriya says she is unsure how far one can practically go. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s nothing you can really do. You can&rsquo;t stop people from being stupid.&rdquo;\r\n
