Every major league director intends to work with elite league superstars. But getting the chance to work with elite stars is just a small part of the process while the real challenge lies in perfectly executing the film.
In the case of Maruthi, this situation is perfectly applicable as he is coming up with a horror film with Prabhas, Raja Saab.

The recently released glimpse has opened to largely polarised response and Maruthi has been dealt with a major reality check.
It is evident that extensive VFX is being used for the film which means the execution is going to be the key.

Given what’s at stake with Prabhas’s pan Indian stardom and the massive budgets, Maruthi has no other option but to deliver big time. Every single aspect of the film will be scrutinised by everyone.
While fans will want a winning product, anti groups will look for stuff for trolls in case the looks and the visual presentation goes wrong. This really is a tricky situation.

The last time Prabhas’s looks and VFX went wrong, Adipurush happened and the director of the film, Om Raut is yet to recover from the same.
However, Maruthi is vastly more calculated and has a perfect gauge of the commercial meter. He full well knows the risks of working with a superstar and we can expect him to deliver his best possible product.
All Maruthi needs to do is get the basic emotions right and a relatively good visual presentation for him to tick off the major boxes as the director of the film. If he succeeds with this film, he could perhaps look to explore options with other stars. So this really is a golden ticket for Maruthi.
