The RajaSaab, starring Prabhas, has turn out to be probably the most talked-about releases in recent weeks. The film opened to heavy criticism, and the word of mouth has stayed dull since day one. Nonetheless, within the midst of this, director Maruthi has made a press release that has once more sparked online discussion.
What Director Maruthi Said After The RajaSaab Release
The RajaSaab received a below-par response from critics. Many viewers also complained about its writing, VFX, pacing, and execution. Because the film moves into the festive period, Maruthi has been promoting it through interviews.
During one such conversation, he said something that immediately caught fire on social media. He stated, “Once you watch a movie for the primary time, you notice what’s in it. Once you watch it the second time, you understand #TheRajaSaab writing depth. If you happen to actually need to know it, watch the movie again.”

This statement quickly went viral on X. Many users felt he was ignoring real criticism. Others said the director was blaming the audience as a substitute of accepting the film’s shortcomings.
One user wrote, “Maruthi already did much harm to the movie along with his nonsense speeches and he continues to achieve this. Writing depth anta! If he actually cares, he would give a solid content in #RajaSaabCircus.” One other user posted, “How can he ask people to look at it again? The ticket rates are already high.”

A frustrated viewer said in Telugu, which roughly translates, “here is nothing within the story except bad comedy. They acted prefer it was a masterpiece. Scenes feel random. He promoted it as the most important horror comedy. He ruined Prabhas’ image.”
Em undi ra story lo rotta comedy thappithe edho masterpiece manchi connectivity unna story tisinatlu buildup anni random random ga vachi valatai asala movie ni mana states lo vadilithe bagunu veedu biggest horror comedy ani dobbetadu prabhas anna aukat motham teesav ga
