Maruthi who rose to stardom with small films like Ee Rojullo, Bus Stop reached new heights with hits like Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, Mahanubhavudu. However, he hit a roadblock with Pakka Commercial.
However, he managed to convince Prabhas and did The Raja Saab and the film which released amidst huge expectations turned out to be a disaster. Under these circumstances, no one is coming to do a project with him.
Recently rumours spread that he would direct Mega Prince Varun Tej, but Varun locked a project with his sister Niharika Konidela. Now, inside talk is he is set to target Sankranti festival with a film titled Happy Pongal. He already finished the script for the project and looking for the young actor.
It has to be seen which actor will dare to do a project with Maruthi. Inside talk is the project may be bankrolled by Maruthi's friend Bunny Vas or Mythri Movie Makers.
