Tamil cinema is making waves internationally once again, with Vijay Sethupathiâs blockbuster Maharaja set to release in China-a rare achievement for a Tamil film. Joining the ranks of big releases like Rajinikanthâs 2.0 and Sivakarthikeyanâs Kanaa, Maharaja will premiere in China on November 29, following its massive success in India.
Directed by Nithilan Swaminathan, Maharaja captivated Indian audiences when it was released in June, becoming a sleeper hit that grossed â¹110 crore on a modest â¹20 crore budget. The rustic mystery thriller, lauded for its intense storyline and Sethupathiâs gripping performance, has continued to amass fans worldwide, and the buzz for its China release is only growing.
The recently unveiled poster for the Maharaja Chinese debut has gone viral, signalling strong anticipation. Reports indicate the film's theatrical rights in China sold for an impressive â¹10 crores. Additionally, Bollywood icon Aamir Khan has acquired the Hindi remake rights, with plans to step into Sethupathiâs role, a testament to the filmâs powerful appeal.
With a star-studded cast including Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, Natarajan Subramaniam, Abhirami, and Sachana, along with music by B. Ajaneesh Loknath, Maharaja is poised to make an impact on Chinese audiences. Following its success on Netflix, fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see how the film will fare in this new market, as it marks a significant milestone in Tamil cinemaâs global journey.
