Vijay Sethupathi: Nearing the 100 Crore Mark

Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi made a triumphant return with his recent film, “Maharaja.” The movie received unanimous positive feedback on its first day and performed exceptionally well during its first weekend, grossing 40 crores worldwide—a significant achievement for Sethupathi. Many believed the film would enter the 100 crore club, but it seems Sethupathi missed this milestone as the OTT release date was announced.

“Maharaja’s” potential was overshadowed by the recently released “Kalki 2898 AD,” starring Prabhas. Prabhas enjoys significant popularity in Tamil Nadu due to his earlier “Baahubali” series. Additionally, “Kalki 2898 AD” features Kamal Haasan in a pivotal role, boosting its performance in the Tamil market. Consequently, “Maharaja” experienced a drop in collections due to these factors. However, the film is expected to surpass 80 crores in its full run, which still marks a successful comeback for Vijay Sethupathi.

Sethupathi, who had been struggling for a hit, acknowledged “Maharaja’s” success at the film’s success meet. While he aims for the 100 crore club with future projects, it remains uncertain whether he will reach this coveted milestone
