newest max store unveil in chennai valasaravakkam

Max Fashion brought together fashion and film culture as it unveiled its newest store in Valasaravakkam, Chennai, celebrating the launch through an experience inspired by the city’s deep-rooted love for cinema, culminating in a dramatic appearance by actress Kayadu Lohar, whose vibrant screen presence and rising popularity brought unmistakable star power to the evening. Marking the brand’s 34th store in City, the opening moved beyond a traditional retail inauguration, transforming the launch into a cinematic celebration that reflected Chennai’s vibrant movie culture while introducing shoppers to a thoughtfully designed new retail space with the new identity store. The evening unfolded like a film premiere. Guests arrived in an atmosphere shaped by visual cues from Tamil cinema: film posters and standees, movie-ticket-inspired entries, popcorn counters, and nostalgic theatre-style elements that recreated the excitement of opening night. Auto rickshaws stationed at the entrance added a distinctly local touch, while interactive moments across the store encouraged guests and creators to explore, capture, and engage with the experience. Kayadu Lohar officially inaugurated the store with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the formal opening of Max Fashion’s newest Valasaravakkam destination amid cheers and applause from attendees. Sumit Chandan, CEO, Max Fashion India shared: “Chennai has always been one of our most dynamic and culturally vibrant markets, and the launch of our Valasaravakkam store reflects our continued commitment to growing alongside its evolving fashion community. With this opening, we wanted to create more than just a retail destination; we wanted to design an experience that feels rooted in the city’s love for cinema and storytelling. By blending fashion with a cinematic celebration, we aimed to make the launch memorable, immersive, and truly reflective of how our customers engage with style today.” Known for her work across Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, Marathi, and Tamil films, Kayadu Lohar represents a new generation of performers who blend relatability with star appeal. Her youthful energy, expressive style, and strong connection with Gen Z audiences made her presence feel especially aligned with the spirit of the evening where fashion, fandom, and pop culture naturally intersected. “Being part of this launch felt incredibly special because it celebrated two things Chennai truly loves cinema and fashion. The energy of the evening, the audience excitement, and the cinematic reveal made it feel like stepping into a film moment,” says Kayadu Lohar. “Max Fashion represents style that is accessible, expressive, and youthful, which makes it easy for people to experiment with fashion in their everyday lives. I loved interacting with everyone here and experiencing the store firsthand.”. Spread across 14,000 sq. ft., the Valasaravakkam store has been designed to offer a spacious, structured, and easy-to-navigate shopping experience.
