Shah Rukh Khan and his off-screen camaraderie was too adorable. He was then seen in Merry Christmas with Katrina Kaif. People loved their chemistry though the film did not fare as well. It was made by Sriram Raghavan. The actor does projects all over South India. Maharaja has him in an unusual baddie avatar. The trailer has got a good response.
