Maharaja’s OTT release

Maharaja is Vijay Sethupathi’s 50th film. It was released in theatres on June 14 before releasing on Netflix on July 12. It was released in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. Maharaja tells the story of a barber who files a complaint with the police about his missing dustbin called Lakshmi. However, as the film’s story progresses his secrets unravel and the audience realises it’s about more than just that. The revenge saga also starred Abhirami and Mamta Mohandas.

Upcoming work

Vijay will soon star in Venkat Prabhu’s The Greatest of All Time which will see him in a dual role. The filmmakers used deaging technology for one of his characters. He launched his own political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, this year and will contest in the next elections. However, his fans hope he will say yes to one more film after The GOAT before stepping into politics. While the actor hasn’t announced anything yet, buzz is that Atlee has a story for the actor.
