All about Junaid Khan's debut film, Maharaj

Directed by Sidharth P. Malhotra, Maharaj was earlier scheduled to have its OTT premiere on June 14. However, the release of Maharaj was halted after the film faced objections from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. The organization allegedly stated that it might hurt the religious sentiments of a section of the audience.

The Gujarat Court has now issued a clean chit to Maharaj, and the film is now streaming on Netflix.
