The trailer of Vijay Sethupathi’s 50th film Maharaja released on Thursday evening and it has been trending since then. The trailer begins with Vijay Sethupathi’s character introducing himself. Sitting in a police station, the actor tells the officials, “Sir, My name is Maharaja. I run a salon. Lakshmi got stolen from my house. Came to file an FIR.” He reveals that his house was broken into but the twist is that Vijay Sethupathi doesn’t actually reveal what is stolen for him. When asked if he is referring to gold, money, documents or even a person, he denies straight away. Simply put, no one knows what Vijay Sethupathi is actually looking for but the officials are convinced that he is surely “hiding something.” The trailer ends with a glimpse of Anurag Kashyap, who appears to be Vijay Sethupathi’s nemesis.
Will Maharaja find what he is actually looking for? We will have to wait till the release of the film to find out. Check out the trailer of Maharaja here:
