Vijay Sethupathi’s Maharaja trailer reveals plot details
The one-minute and forty-three-second trailer starts with a gripping sequence set in KK Nagar in Chennai. It shows a salon followed by a tense scene in a police station. Sethupathi’s character requests the police file an FIR for the theft of “Lakshmi” from his house. However, the mystery deepens as it becomes clear that “Lakshmi” is neither money nor a person. In fact, it is something far more significant, adding layers of suspense to the storyline.
The trailer is a whirlwind of high-octane action sequences, hinting at a dark and complex narrative. Sethupathi’s portrayal of a ruthless and determined character promises to be a standout performance in his illustrious career. Anurag Kashyap, known for his directorial prowess, makes a chilling appearance as the antagonist, with his intense expressions suggesting a formidable villain that adds to the film’s allure.
The background score by B Ajaneesh Loknath enhances the trailer’s dramatic impact, while the sharp editing keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The cover photo of the trailer video, showing Vijay Sethupathi drenched in blood while sitting on a chair, hints at the film’s action-packed and violent nature.

With Nithilan Swaminathan at the helm and a stellar cast, including Vijay Sethupathi and Anurag Kashyap, the film is poised to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression. The Telugu version of the trailer is currently available, with releases in other languages expected soon.
