During the press meet, Vijay Sethupathi revealed that during the release of one of his recent movies, someone conveyed to him that putting up a banner for the actor in theatres was pointless because the audience wouldn't come for him anymore. 

Sethupathi further added he is happy that Maharaja is the answer to all those questions. At the event, the actor’s fans went crazy listening to his answer. However, he chose not to disclose the name of the film during the discussion, this time too.

A few days ago, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, the Makkal Selvan of Tamil cinema expressed his disappointment regarding the promotional phase of one of his recent projects.

Additionally, Sethupathi expressed his concern that he thought Maharaja would be an average or above-average performance at the box office, considering his previous films hadn't performed well.

Moreover, the Tamil Journalists Association Secretary, RS Karthik was present at the event, and shared an unknown fact with the audience, saying that during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ajith Sir and Vijay Sethupathi Sir helped them the most.

The revelation electrified the atmosphere, causing fans of both Thala and Makkal Selvan going berserk at the event.
