Vijay Sethupathi's Maharaja to Get Hollywood Remake with McConaughey in Talks
Vijay Sethupathi's 2024 Tamil crime thriller Maharaja is set to become the first Tamil film to receive a Hollywood remake by a major studio. The remake rights were acquired following the film's strong box office performance, especially in China where it earned approximately Rs 91.65 crore. Producer Sudhan Sundaram confirmed ongoing talks with a Hollywood agency, which is reportedly considering Oscar-winning actor Matthew McConaughey for the lead role, though his involvement remains unconfirmed. Filming is expected to begin next year.
