Maharaja has been in the making for some time now. Nithilan made his directorial debut with the thriller Kurangu Bommai in 2017 and took his time to craft his second film.
Judging from the trailer, Maharaja seems to revolve around an ordinary man and his thirst for vengeance. In the film, Vijay Sethupathi portrays the titular role. Maharaja runs a small barber shop in a working-class neighbourhood and appears to have no family. When we first meet him, he is reeling under emotional turmoil. Bruised and anxious, Maharaja arrives at the police station to file an FIR, claiming that somebody took 'Lakshmi' away from him. However, when questioned about 'Lakshmi,' Maharaja struggles to provide a basic answer. His disoriented behaviour perplexes everyone, including the police, who are unable to decipher what 'Lakshmi' is—whether it's a person or a thing. Whatever it is, it holds immense significance to Maharaja, and he appears determined to retrieve it.

The trailer hints at an epic confrontation between Vijay Sethupathi's character and Bollywood filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap. While the trailer doesn't divulge much information about Anurag's character, it suggests that he is not a positive presence.
