At a recent event hosted by The Hindu, Kashyap shared, 'After Imaikka Nodigal, I turned down a lot of South films. Offers kept coming every other day. Then, during post-production for Kennedy, I kept bumping into Vijay Sethupathi at my neighbour's place," said Kashyap, referencing his upcoming action thriller starring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone. What started as casual chats turned into a full-circle moment. 'He told me there's this amazing script they've been trying to get to me. I initially said no. But he helped me find something in Kennedy, so I gave him a 'Thank You' card in the film. I told him, 'I need to get my daughter married next year, and I don't think I can afford it.' And Vijay said, 'We'll help you.' And that's how Maharaja happened," he said.
