Vijay Sethupathi’s 50th film, Maharaja, has achieved tremendous success. The movie commenced with a gross of 3 crore and experienced a significant surge in popularity on the following day. Surprisingly, the Telugu audience also responded positively to the film. Additionally, Maharaja has managed to maintain its strong performance on Monday, benefiting from the Bakrid holiday advantage. It is now on track to become a massive blockbuster.
Vijay Sethupathi, known for his versatility as an actor, has had a period of low success in recent years, with no solo blockbusters and a string of supporting and guest roles. However, his film Maharaja has been a game-changer. In Tamil Nadu alone, the film has grossed over 20 crores in just 5 days. In the Telugu States, it has surpassed 9 crores. The remaining gross from the rest of India and overseas adds up to 15 crores. This brings the film’s total worldwide gross to approximately 45 crores, a significant achievement for Vijay Sethupathi.
In prominent roles, Maharaja features Mamta Mohandas, Natty (Natraj), Bharathiraja, Abhirami, Singampuli, and Kalki. The plot centers around a barber and his unconditional love for his child. In a surprising turn of events, he is compelled to complain to the police station due to Lakshmi’s disappearance. Vijay Sethupathi’s exceptional performance in the film garnered critical acclaim. Director Anurag Kashyap took the time to Instagram to express his delight in being associated with the movie and its commercial success.
