Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan is humbled by the appreciation he has been receiving for Maharaj. He is thrilled to know that people are getting to watch his debut film worldwide. In an official statement shared, he said, “I cannot explain in words what I’m feeling right now. Maharaj has been a long and wild journey for me, but all’s well that ends well, I guess.”
Junaid added that his film was made with a “lot of love and respect and passion” and he is glad to see that the film and his performance are connecting to a larger audience. Despite this fact, he admits to working on himself and improving a lot.
“I know I have miles to go and lots to improve upon. I just hope I get a cast and crew as supportive in all my future work,” he further added.
Notably, Junaid Khan-starrer Maharaj was scheduled to premiere on June 14. The streaming giant stopped its release after the Gujarat High Court stayed its release following a petition by members of a Hindu sect who claimed the film would hurt their religious sentiments on June 13.
As per Pinkvilla’s review of the film, “Maharaj is a compelling drama that stays with you long after watching the film. Jaideep Ahlawat gave a memorable performance, and Junaid Khan entered the film industry with a strong character.”
