We had earlier reported that actor Vijay Sethupathi’s 50th film is Maharaja, set to be helmed by Kurangu Bommai director Nithilan Swaminathan. On Sunday, the makers revealed the first look poster of the film from the film.

The poster features Vijay, covered in blood and with a bandaged ear, sitting on a barber’s chair holding a bloodied sickle as cops look helplessly in the background.
