Following the disappointment among Prabhas fans over The Raja Saab, the film’s director has increasingly become a prime target of their frustration.
What began as online trolling has reportedly escalated into repeated acts of harassment, including fake food deliveries being sent to his residence, turning the situation unpleasant and stressful.
In light of these developments, well-wishers have reportedly advised director Maruthi and his friend SKN to avoid reacting on social media and to maintain a low profile for the time being.
They believe that responding to trolls or making public appearances at unrelated events could further provoke angry fans and keep them under constant scrutiny. This advice is said to be the main reason behind their current silence.
However, many feel that fans need to step back, reflect and move on. Cinema successes and failures are part of the industry, and targeting individuals serves no purpose.
With time, emotions are expected to settle naturally, allowing everyone involved to move forward more calmly and constructively.
