'Maharaja' director Nithilan Saminathan said that Oscar-winning director Alejandro González Iñárritu, known for 'Birdman' and 'The Revenant', has offered filmmaker-actor Anurag Kashyap a film. "Anurag said that Iñárritu offered him a role in his film only because of Maharaja," said Nithilan. Anurag, who played an antagonist in 'Maharaja', received critical acclaim for his performance.
