Actor Vijay Sethupathi is basking in the success of his 50th outing, Maharaja, directed by Nithilan Saminathan.

The film, since its release on June 14, has not just garnered critical applause but is also creating box-office records both in India and beyond.

In a recent update from the makers regarding Maharaja's global box office collection, the film grossed 1 million Malaysian Ringgits in the Southeast Asian nation and $1 million in the UAE. The film has also become the number 1 grosser in the US.

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's 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.
