According to sources close to the development, Maharaj will premiere on June 14, 2024. “YRF and Aditya Chopra have great faith in the content of Maharaj, and believes that Netflix will push the film further to a global audience. They along with Netflix are all set to launch the film digitally on June 14, 2024. A crisp marketing campaign is put in place for Maharaj,” revealed a source close to the development.

The source further added that the trailer of Maharaj will be out around June 5, followed a 9-day gap leading to the release. “Being an OTT release, Netflix has strategically devised a short pre-release campaign. The major push will come post the release when the content does the talking and creates more points for conversation,” the source added.
