Can Maruthi satisfy Prabhas fans. Among all the high-profile projects of Prabhas, Maruthi's Raja Deluxe has very less expectations. Even the fans of Prabhas are not showing interest in the project and it is known that they in fact asked Prabhas not to proceed ahead with the project as the film as Maruthi's recent projects turned out to be disasters.
Maruthi is planning to show Prabhas as a hilarious horror entertainer and it features Sanjay Dutt and Sathyaraj in key roles. The film stars three heroines Malavika Mohanan, Nidhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar. Now the question is can Maruthi satisfy Prabhas fans? "The shadow of 'Salaar' will cast a substantial influence on his forthcoming release, so the director faces the formidable task of going above and beyond to deliver a sensational cinematic experience alongside Prabhas," divulges a reliable source.
When delving into the lingering effects of previous films on a star's career trajectory, the source remarks, "Following his meteoric rise to stardom post 'Baahubali,' Prabhas encountered some challenges as his subsequent movies struggled to meet the sky-high expectations of his audience. Both 'Saaho' and 'Radhe Shyam' garnered mixed reactions. While the former fared well in Hindi circuits, the latter faced disappointment as viewers found it hard to digest Prabhas in the role of a palmist with the ability to predict the future. Maintaining his action-hero image becomes crucial after 'Salaar,' which is set to portray him as a formidable force in action."
Hence, it becomes imperative for director Maruthi to incorporate one or two gripping action sequences to satiate the cravings of Prabhas's ardent fans. While comedy remains Maruthi's forte, relying solely on humor could be a bit risky, cautions the source.It's worth noting that Maruthi has achieved success with comedic gems like 'Bhale Bhale Magadivoy' and 'Mahanubhavudu,' featuring Nani and Sharwanand, respectively. However, Prabhas's status as a pan-India star necessitates a larger-than-life approach, transcending the conventional hero-centric narratives. The road ahead poses a formidable challenge for Maruthi," the source concludes.
