The critically and commercially successful Maharaja, starring Vijay Sethupathi and directed by Nithilan Saminathan, grows from strength to strength as the film's box-office juggernaut continues overseas in China.

According to some box-office trackers, the action film, retitled Comeuppance, has earned ¥54.95 million (around Rs 64 crore) since its release in China almost two weeks ago. The film is also getting a corresponding positive response from the public and critics in China.

Directed by Nithilan Swaminathan, Maharaja features a stellar cast including Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, and Natty Natraj. The story revolves around Maharaja (played by Sethupathi), a barber from Chennai who visits a police station to reclaim his stolen dustbin, only for the situation to take an unexpected turn, revealing deeper intentions.

The film was a massive success in India when it was released on June 14, crossing the ₹100 crore mark domestically. Its success in China underscores its universal appeal and the growing popularity of Indian cinema in the region.

Maharaja is produced by Sudhan Sundaram through his Passion Studios banner and Jagadish Palanisamy under his banner, The Route. It has cinematography by Dinesh Purushothaman, music by B. Ajaneesh Loknath, and editing by Philomin Raj.
