“Maharaja,” featuring Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role, was released in theaters last June as the actor’s 50th film and became a major success. Director Nithilan Saminathan received widespread acclaim for his exceptional screenplay, earning praise from several cinema stars, including Thalapathy Vijay. Vijay personally met with Saminathan to congratulate him on his work, and Saminathan shared photos of their interaction on social media, expressing his excitement about meeting the renowned actor.
In a recent YouTube conversation with veteran actor Chitra Lakshmanan, Saminathan elaborated on his meeting with Vijay and the accolades he received for “Maharaja.” Vijay highlighted his favorite aspects of the film, particularly appreciating how Saminathan developed the character of Singam Puli to captivate fans. Vijay’s detailed feedback left Saminathan thrilled, though he admitted to feeling nervous during their encounter. Vijay reassured him with the words, “Cool ah irunga boss… Cool ah irunga…” (Stay cool, boss… Stay cool…). Vijay praised both Vijay Sethupathi and Singam Puli’s characters, leaving Saminathan in awe of Vijay’s perceptive analysis.
“Maharaja,” an emotional thriller, is now available for streaming in multiple languages on a popular digital platform. Additionally, there are discussions about a Hindi remake, with Aamir Khan potentially stepping into Vijay Sethupathi’s role.
