Share
Maharaja, directed by Nithilan Swaminathan and starring Vijay Sethupathi, has become a remarkable success story in Tamil cinema. The film, which initially enjoyed a massive run in theaters, achieved an extraordinary milestone in China, grossing ₹25 crore within just three days of release. This achievement not only underscored the global appeal of the movie but also crowned it as the highest-grossing Tamil film in China, surpassing previous records set by iconic films like 2.0. The gripping storyline, powerful performances, and Sethupathi’s star power played a pivotal role in the film’s success, captivating audiences far beyond India.
Buoyed by the phenomenal response in China, the filmmakers are now setting their sights on Japan, another major market for Tamil cinema. With Japan’s history of embracing Indian films like Muthu, the team behind Maharaja is optimistic about replicating its Chinese success. This cross-border recognition highlights not only the universal appeal of Tamil storytelling but also Vijay Sethupathi’s growing stature as a global star.
