Until about ten days ago, most Telugu audiences didn’t know about Vijay Sethupathi’s movie titled Maharaja. Recently, Vijay Sethupathi came to Hyderabad to promote the film and mentioned Pawan Kalyan, which caught everyone’s attention to the movie’s existence. Today, the film has successfully pleased its creators.
Just ten days before its release, the decision was made to buy the rights to dub and release it in Telugu simultaneously. Despite the short notice, Vijay Sethupathi quickly traveled to Hyderabad and stayed for three to four days. He actively participated in all promotional activities, giving interviews and joining in videos made by YouTubers.
Maharaja premiered yesterday and received a warm reception from the audience. Despite its serious storyline, director Nithilan’s engaging screenplay has captivated viewers. Positive reviews are spreading from social media to the public.
Critics have praised the film too, and word of mouth is very positive. The team is hopeful for a good turnout over the weekend as interest among the general audience grows. With two weeks until the release of Kalki 2898 AD, Maharaja has a good chance to maintain its strong performance at the box office.
Meanwhile, in Tamil Nadu, the film is being hailed as one of the year’s biggest hits.
