And this film was very important for him as he wanted to raise money for his daughter Alia’s wedding.

Anurag said, ‘After Imikaa Nodigal, I rejected a lot of South films. Offers were coming every other day. Then, during the post-production of Kennedy, I met Vijay Sethupathi. He told me that there is a very good script in which he is trying to cast me. But initially I refused.’ He said that he had talked to Vijay Sethupathi about the expenses of his daughter Aaliyah’s wedding and helped him get a role as an actor. ‘I told him, I have to get my daughter married next year, and I don’t think I will be able to bear the expenses. So Vijay said that we will help you. And in this way, Maharaja was formed and I got the role.’
