Vijay Sethupathi is set to return to the big screens with Maharaja. The movie, which is written and directed by Nithilan Swaminathan, marks the National award-winning actor’s 50th outing in cinema. Anurag Kashyap, the Bollywood filmmaker is playing a pivotal character in the film, which is slated to hit the theatres on June 14, 2024. Ahead of the film’s theatrical release, the makers revealed the Maharaja release trailer on social media today.
The highly promising release trailer of Maharaja showcases the journey of a barber, who files a police complaint stating his ‘Lakshmi’ has been taken away by burglars. However, it is not revealed if the protagonist is talking about a person, or cryptically hinting at the large amount of money or a valuable object, he has been hiding at home. When the police fail to find his ‘Lakshmi’ and mistreat him, the protagonist takes matter into his own hands. Soon he crosses path with the character played by Anurag Kashyap, which leads to major bloodshed.
As always, Vijay Sethupathi looks extremely promising as the helpless protagonist in the beginning of the trailer, and later as the vengeful man who is trying to find his ‘Lakshmi’. Anurag Kashyap, on the other hand, looks confident as a man on a hidden mission. Mamta Mohandas and Abhirami, the leading ladies make blink-and-miss appearances in the trailer. However, from the Maharaja release trailer, it is safe to assume that the Nithilan Swaminathan directorial is going to be a compelling theatrical watch.
Maharaja marks Nithilan Swaminathan’s second outing as a filmmaker, after Kurangu Bommai. Along with Vijay Sethupathi and Anurag Kashyap, the movie features a stellar star cast including Natarajan Subramaniam aka Natty, Abhirami, Mamta Mohandas, Bharathiraja, Singampuli, Aruldoss, Munishkanth, Vinoth Sagar, Boys Manikandan, Kalki, Sachana Namidass, and others in the supporting roles. Ajaneesh Loknath composes the music. Philomin Raj handles the editing. Maharaja is produced by the banners Passion Studios and The Route.
