Director Maruthi gained stardom and won the appreciation of movie lovers for making feel good movies and family entertainers. Many expected him to reach the next level of stardom after scoring hits like Bhale Bhale Magadivoy and Mahanubhavudu. But one wrong step from his side made him disappear from the industry.
Maruti is now missing and no one knows about his whereabouts. When everything was going right for him, he came up with Naga Chaitanya's Sailaja Reddy Alludu. Though he escaped from getting a disaster with star cast and other promotions, he couldn't escape the damage caused to his reputation.
Before Sailaja Reddy, many young stars used to show interest in starring in his direction. He even got feelers from Vijay Devarakonda and Sai Dharam Tej. But after Sailaja Reddy misfired, none is showing interest in him.
Maruthi who used to come up with films without any gap, is already getting more than six months gap. He is currently busy penning script in the lines of Bhale Bhale Magadivoy and buzz is he will team up with any hero who will be available at that time.
