Explaining about why he chose cleanliness as a subject, Maruthi of Mahanubhavudu says, “People seem to be getting increasingly obsessed with cleanliness. When we were kids, there wasn’t even a concept of the paper napkin, and yet, we were sanitary.
But now, people are prone to be obsessed with cleanliness and in the process, I feel that they’re losing out on emotions.
When a loved one wants to cook for you and feed you by hand, you’re too busy wondering if their hands are clean and how they cooked the food. We’re missing out on love due to our obsession with hygiene.”
“The government is striving to create a clean India, and many kids are cleaning up roads but sadly a lot of ‘wise people’ are still continuing to litter and ruin the environment.
I selected the cleanliness theme to show that it’s good to be clean, but everyone should strive for it. That’s one of the indirect messages in the film,” Maruthi adds further.
