Last evening, Rajasab’s first single was launched in a grand manner at Vimal Theater in Hyderabad in the presence of fans. Later, Maruti said, ‘After the release of this film, people will raise their voices, I can’t say such things because they are too small words for a cutout like Prabhas’. These comments caused a fan war on social media. Junior NTR fans expressed their anger that director Maruthi made comments about their hero. NTR’s fans trolled Maruti saying that he should not talk about the opportunity to do a film with the star hero.

However, as this controversy caused conflict between Rebel star fans and NTR fans, Maruti explained his statements and felt that he should clarify his words personally. First of all I sincerely apologize to every fan of Jr NTR. I don’t mean to hurt or disrespect anyone. Sometimes when we talk in excitement, if we say one thing, it comes out as something else. I’m sorry that what I said sounded wrong to you. I have immense respect for NTR and all his fans. NTR for the film, I really appreciate your love for him. I hope NTR fans will understand the situation I talked about and the intention behind it’, posted on X’s account.
Dear Venky…
Felt like clarifying this personally.
First I sincerely apologize to every fan. It was never my intention to hurt or disrespect anyone. Sometimes in the flow of words things come out differently from what we truly mean and I regret that it was received in the wrong…— Director Maruthi (@DirectorMaruthi) November 24, 2025
