Vijay Sethupathi’s Maharaja to release in China
If it’s Rajinikanth’s The Dancing Maharaja (Muthu) for Japan, it’s going to Vijay Sethupathi’s Maharaja for Chinese filmgoers. The hit Nithilan Saminathan directorial is soon to get a release in China.
The director took to X to share the news of the film’s release in the neighbouring country. He also shared a Chinese poster for the film and announced that it will release there on November 29.
Maharaja is a revenge saga about a barber (Sethupathi) whose house is broken into. He tells the cops that his ‘Lakshmi’ has been stolen, without expressing clearly if it’s a person or thing. As Maharaja searches for his elusive ‘Lakshmi’, the plot expands into an elaborate action drama, with ample guns and gangsters thrown in.
Maharaja also features Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, Natty (Natraj), Bharathiraja, Abhirami, Munishkanth and others.

The Kochi Biennale is evolving, better, I love it. There have been problems in the past but they it seems to have been ironed out. For me, the atmosphere, the fact of getting younger artists doing work, showing them, getting the involvement of the local people… it is the biggest asset, the People’s Biennale part of it. This Biennale has a great atmosphere and It is a feeling of having succeeded, everybody is feeling a sense of achievement… so that’s it is quite good!
