After The Raja Saab, Maruthi Plans Next Film With Mega hero?
The failure of The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, has turned out to be a major setback for director Maruthi. Released during Sankranthi 2026 with high expectations, the film was rejected by both fans and general audiences, eventually becoming a big embarrassment for the director.
Following such a disappointing result, many expected Maruthi to take a break before starting his next project. However, the director appears to be in no mood to slow down. According to industry reports, Maruthi has already prepared a script for his next film and has been actively approaching actors to take the project forward.

Vaisshnav Tej is currently on a break and has been carefully evaluating scripts for his next film. Despite listening to several story ideas in recent months, the actor has reportedly not committed to any project yet. But sources suggest that he was impressed with Maruthi’s narration and is considering collaborating with the director.

Interestingly, both the director and the actor appear to be at crucial phases in their careers. While Vaisshnav Tej is looking to return with a strong script after a long gap, Maruthi is aiming to move past the disappointment of The Raja Saab and prove himself once again.
If the project materializes, leading production house Mythri Movie Makers is expected to bankroll the film. Given the outcome of The Raja Saab, both Maruthi and the young hero are likely to approach this project with extra caution to ensure a better result.
For now, the project remains in the discussion stage, and only time will reveal whether this potential collaboration will eventually go on floors.
