Maharaja trailer out: The much-anticipated trailer for Vijay Sethupathi’s 50th film, Maharaja, has been released. The film, directed by Nithilan Saminathan, was announced last year.
Maharaja trailer
The 1-minute and 42-second trailer introduces viewers to Sethupathi's character, Maharaja, an ordinary barber running a salon in KK Nagar. However, his life takes a turn when someone steals 'Lakshmi' from his house, prompting him to visit the police station to file an FIR. The twist? Lakshmi isn't a person or valuable item like money or gold. Instead, it’s something Maharaja humorously tries to explain through actions, leaving viewers intrigued and amused. Maharaja even warns the police to find his Lakshmi or face the consequences. The trailer also gives a glimpse of director Anurag Kashyap, appearing in a villainous role.

Earlier on Wednesday a poster of the film was released in which Vijay Sethupathi is seen holding a razor while seated in a salon chair.
