Tollywood –

Some come here and earn money…

Some come here and earn fame…

But some come here and become a cult…

And Maruthi is no short of a cult in recent times. With his new-found technology and technique of story which he claims to be an inspiration from the iconic RGV, Maruthi has certainly made an impact in modern Telugu filmmaking. Coming a long way from Machilipatnam [a town in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh], this Animation guru has earned a foothold indeed a name for him that even stars vouch for.

If you wonder, now who is this ‘Maruthi’ dropped down from the blues, sorry, you have to know he is a painter right when he was tot and even taught lessons [animation lessons] to Bunny [Allu Arjun] and Cherry [Ram Charan]. He was even the co-producer for A film by Aravind (2005) who exclaims it to be a learning curve for him. But captivating on his learning, here is Maruthi emerging as a differentiator with his mark of entertainers within the shoe-string budgets. In today’s world of magnum opus projects and exploding budgets, Maruthi is the ‘Producer’s man’! The naysayers might yank that he is a “Boothu director” and they should have got their answer with his recent flick Prema Katha Chitram [PKC].

Yes…he has broken the mold and banged the box-office and formulae chanters with his off-kilter 50-day runner [a rare feat indeed] romantic horror comedy PKC and is all set to unleash new wonders with his upcoming projects. So, no wonder he is our SENSATIONAL STAR OF THE WEEK!
