So they say....
| 'Vidyawan, Guni, Athi Chathura'- these old adjectives embedded in Maruthi Rao made him a humble and complacent perfectionist. |
|
-Padmabhusan. Sripada Pinakapani
|
| A successful writer who showed his gamut after he left for the cine field. Cine writing and Maruthi Rao are made for each other. I do not get surprised for his achievements or Awards of any status. |
|
-Sri Nanduri Rama Mohana Rao
|
| I am happy, if not proud for having advised him to shift from Andhra Prabha to Akashavani and from there to the cine field. I have recharged him with thought and energy not infrequently. |
|
-B.K.Rao I.A.S.(Retd.)
|
| Maruthi Rao, in a way, is senior to me. It is from him that I had learnt the intricacies which should be brought into cine writing to supplement learning and taste. |
|
-Veturi Sundararama Murthy
|
| To the Tragedian behind the clown mask, to the writer behind prankster, to the young man in the make up of a 60 year old, to the column reader and columnist, to that oar in my ship's galley in whose ship I play the same role, thank you for all that you have done to me and my life which is partly CINEMA. |
|
-Padmasri Kamal Hassan
|
| The sense of humour, the depth of memory and the situational wit found in Maruthi Rao are certainly rare. They are the keys of his success. |
|
-K.Viswanath
|
| In Maruthi Rao, I found very committed human being,who through his own sufferings could realize other's sufferings. |
|
-Sunil Dutt
|
| He is a one-man army and wherever he goes or whatever he does,he steals the show.As a renowned writer,a popular artiste,a balanced critic and a distinguished journalist,he practices perfection. |
|
-V.Ramamohan Rao,The Hindu
|
| Maruthirao's brilliant academic career and wide learning gave him the necessary equipment to quickly rise to eminence as a writer and later as an artiste. His versatility secured him a special place not only in the field of cinema but also in our public life. |
|
-Prof.A.Prasanna Kumar
|
| Maruthi Rao has a magical power to win over anyone who interacts with him. His multifaceted services deserve to be honoured through a D.litt or Kalaprapoorna. |
|
-R.Ananta Padmanabha Rao
|
| Call Whatever; Cine-scripts, screen plays, Cine-story, short story, novel, playlet, play, essay, poetry, anchoring talk-shows-there was no one prior to him who had established expertise in so many walks of creative and performing arts. |
|
-Yandamuri Veerendranath
|
| I am very much aware of your qualifications, talents, and rich experience. Above all your philosophic attitude towards life in spite of calamities is highly appreciable and exemplary. |
