The Raja Saab is one of the most expensive and big-scale movies in the history of Indian cinema. Director Maruthi has spent about three years writing and making it. Conventionally, most directors prefer to avoid small or medium movies after handling such a prestigious venture. Not Maruthi.
The director is open to taking on a small-scale movie after The Raja Saab. He has readied a story that suits a small hero.
Here is a lesson for small directors who chase scale and pan-India endeavours after delivering just one box-office hit. Most Tollywood directors whose first or second movie became a hit are trapped in hankering after scale. They wait for years and years in pursuit of this goal. Maruthi, additionally, guides small-scale projects produced by others.
Maruthi's The Raja Saab will debut in theatres on the evening of January 8th.
