With back to back successes, Maruthi is more efficiently rated as a good producer than a good director. Yes, ‘Prema Katha Chithram’ has a share of production investment from Maruthi and these days he is risking on multiple projects with ‘Romance’ directed by ‘Darling’ Swamy readying for release. Going by the early trailers and other promotional material, ‘Romance’ seems to be quite a good ‘Boothu’ extension of ‘Bus Stop’ with Prince once again enjoying the subject.
Apparently, Maruthi should try to wipe off the ‘Boothu’ brand tagged to his name. Instead, he is still attempting on the same format of storylines where success is much more assured. If bagging a hit is the factor of fear behind Maruthi continuously pumping these kinds of movies, then he will definitely disappear in no time. Effects of ‘Romance’ and ‘Bus Stop’ have not started to reach the shores of Mega camp because ‘Kotha Janta’ of Allu Sirish and Regina Cassandra with Maruthi is also tied into the same genre.
