Aamir Khan`s son Junaid Khan`s debut as an actor was scheduled for today with the release of `Maharaj` on Netflix. However, the film directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and backed by YRF landed in a legal soup ahead of its release. Hours before its streaming release on Netflix, the Gujarat High Court put a stay on the film following a plea by a Hindu group. The petitioners claimed that the film could potentially incite violence
A reputed, veteran trade source says, "YRF and Netflix are challenging the Stay order. The matter is in court. Maharaj is based on a real-life case. It is adapted from Saurabh Shah`s book titled Maharaj. The author has also come out to say that the film does not vilify the Vaishnav community or the religion. It is about a social reformer, who brought about a positive change in society. The makers are hopeful for a positive outcome on this.”
