Vijay Sethupathi’s 2024 starrer Maharaja was a massive hit in theaters. The actor recently revealed that he was at the lowest point in his career when the film came to him.
Speaking at an award event for Behindwoods, he said, “I will always remember the success of this film till the end because, for 2-3 years, my films weren’t doing well. Many said my career was over, but the film again proved that I‘m MAHARAJA. I knew the film would do well, but I didn’t expect it to be appreciated worldwide, including in China.”
The movie titled “Maharaja,” directed by Nithilan Saminathan, is a fast-paced action-revenge thriller that revolves around the life of a single father named Maharaja, who resides in Chennai and takes care of his daughter.
However, their lives take a turn when a cherished dustbin of theirs gets stolen, prompting Maharaja to retrieve it with the help of the police. Soon, everyone realizes that the matter is far more serious than a stolen garbage bin, with shocking truths being unveiled.
In addition to Vijay Sethupathi taking on the main character, this film boasts a large cast, including Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, Natty Subramaniam, Abhirami Gopikumar, Divyabharathi, Singampuli, Bharathiraja, and several others in significant parts.
The film was incredibly successful at the box office and earned critical acclaim, not just in India but also in China where it gained significant popularity.
On the work front, Vijay Sethupathi was last seen playing a co-lead in Viduthalai Part 2. Directed by Vetrimaaran, the film is a period political crime thriller that follows a police constable caught in the midst of an operation to apprehend a revolutionary.
The second installment in this two-part film series features Soori as the co-lead, alongside an ensemble cast including Gautham Vasudev Menon, Bhavani Sre, Rajiv Menon, Ilavarasu, and Balaji Sakthivel. The film is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
In the future, Vijay Sethupathi will take on leading parts in three upcoming films: Ace, Train, and a movie yet to be named, which is being helmed by Pandiraj. He will share screen time with Nithya Menen in these projects.
