Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, the drama Maharaj stars a fabulous cast that includes Junaid Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Sharvari Wagh and Shalini Pandey in pivotal roles. Maharaj is based on a real-life historic court case; a bold journalist questions a revered leader’s immoral behavior. Set in the 1800s, Malhotra says, “It is a film that shows the resilience of the human spirit and how a common man could wield the courage to help people around him and, thus, help society at large. Get set to get mesmerized into a world of horse-drawn carriages, old-school printing presses, kaccha roads, beautiful traditions, and a man’s willpower to do good.”
One of the special things about the film is that the film marks the debut of Junaid Khan, son of Aamir Khan, who plays the role of Karsandas Mulji. We have a behind the scenes look at a special day on the sets of Maharaj! On the first day of shooting, Aamir Khan and his family visited the set to encourage Junaid and the team, wishing them success for the film. A few pictures have surfaced on social media that show Aamir hugging Junaid and interacting with the rest of the cast and crew members.
Recently, the director also took to social media sharing some special memories with the cast and crew of his film, Maharaj.
