Vijay Sethupathi's recently released film Maharaja has crossed Rs 50 crores at the worldwide box office. The crime drama film, directed by Nithilan Saminathan, marks the actor's 50th film.

Passion Studios, which is co-producing the film, took to their social media handles to announce that Maharaja has earned more than Rs 55.8 crores worldwide at the box office. "Maharaja shattering records with a lightning-fast 55.8+ crores globally in 6 days," they said.

Maharaja marks the 50th film of Vijay Sethupathi. Nithilan also wrote the dialogues for the film alongside Raam Murali.

Maharaja also stars Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, and Natty Natraj in pivotal roles alongside Abhirami, Aruldoss, Munishkanth, Boys Manikandan, Singam Puli, Bharathiraja, Kalki, Vinod Sagar, and Sachana Namidass.

Our CE review of the film read, "Maharaja is a whodunit, and strangely enough, it’s also a whats-been-done. The story is hardly new, but the value is in the screenplay that masks the story simplicity in a deliberately complex design."

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.
