Anurag Kashyap Teams Up with Vijay Sethupathi in ‘Maharaja’ and Praises His Talent

Renowned filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently collaborated with Vijay Sethupathi in the Tamil film ‘Maharaja‘ and expressed admiration for Sethupathi’s skills.

In a candid interview, Kashyap shared how Sethupathi’s invitation and their past meeting paved the way for his foray into Tamil cinema after a prolonged hiatus from acting roles in the region.

Recalling their prior interaction, Kashyap mentioned a meeting held years ago with Sethupathi for a Hindi film venture, an opportunity that couldn’t materialize due to various reasons.

Working with Sethupathi in ‘Maharaja,’ Kashyap highlighted the actor’s collaborative nature, stating that Sethupathi played a pivotal role in honing their on-screen chemistry and performances.

Despite initial reservations, Kashyap’s trust in Sethupathi’s vision and director Nithilan Swaminathan’s guidance propelled his decision to take on the challenge, resulting in a satisfying performance in the film.

Furthermore, Kashyap’s upcoming web series, ‘Bad Cop,’ set to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar, showcases his versatility in portraying the antagonist, adding another layer to his diverse acting portfolio.
