Vijay Sethupathi captivated the audience with his portrayal in the action thriller, Maharaja. Following its remarkable success at the Indian box office, the film has achieved the status of the highest-grossing South Indian film and ranks as the 10th largest Indian grosser at the Chinese box office.

The journey of how Maharaja emerged as the top-grossing South Indian film in China.

As reported by Sacnilk, Vijay Sethupathi's film Maharaja has exceeded the lifetime earnings of ₹80.50 crore achieved by Prabhas and SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, thus establishing itself as the highest-grossing South Indian film in China. In just 21 days, Maharaja has generated around ₹85.75 crore in China and is approaching the ₹100 crore milestone at the Chinese box office.

Dangal continues to hold the position as the highest-grossing Indian film at the Chinese box office.

Aamir Khan's Dangal remains the highest-grossing Indian film in China, followed by titles such as Secret Superstar, Andhadhun, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Hindi Medium, Hichki, PK, Mom, and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Should Vijay Sethupathi's Maharaja exceed the ₹100-crore threshold in China, it will surpass Akshay Kumar's Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, thereby becoming the ninth highest-grossing Indian film at the Chinese box office.

Additionally, Maharaja is approaching the ₹200-crore milestone in global earnings. Currently, the film's worldwide collection stands at ₹193 crores, and if it maintains its strong performance in China, it may surpass the ₹200-crore mark, making it the fourth Tamil film of 2024 to achieve this milestone.
