About Maharaja

Director Nithilan made his directorial debut in 2017 with Korangu Bommai, a crime thriller that had critics raving. He returns to the silver screen with Vijay’s 50th film Maharaja. The film tells the story of a simple barber and his love for his child. One day, he finds himself at the police station filing a complaint because ‘Lakshmi’ has been stolen.

The Hindustan Times’ review of Maharaja reads, “Nithilan has presented us a slow-burning thriller. In the first half, we see numerous characters come into play and they seem irrelevant but as you get to the intermission, you realise there are bigger things at play. It’s in the second half that you begin to connect the dots and figure out why Maharaja is a determined man on a relentless mission to find Lakshmi.”

Upcoming work

Keerthy has numerous films lined up in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. She will debut in Bollywood soon with Kalees’ Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan. In Telugu, she stars in a film titled Aina Ishtam Nuvvu, which is yet to be released. In Tamil, she’s filming for Raghuthatha, Revolver Rita and Kannivedi.
