Gujarat High Court Clears Path for Release of Aamir Khan's Son's Debut Film

The Gujarat High Court has lifted its stay on the release of 'Maharaj,' Aamir Khan's son Junaid's debut film, allowing it to stream on Netflix. The court found no objectionable content targeting the Vaishnav Pushtimarg sect, dismissing concerns raised in a petition against the film's release.

The Gujarat High Court, on Friday, lifted its stay on the release of 'Maharaj,' the debut film of Bollywood star Aamir Khan's son Junaid. The court, after reviewing the film, concluded it does not target the Vaishnav Pushtimarg sect as alleged by petitioners.

The film, which is produced by Yash Raj Films and based on an 1862 libel case involving social reformer Karsandas Mulji, was allowed to be released on streaming platform Netflix. The petitioners had claimed it hurt their religious sentiments.

Justice Sangeeta Vishen, who watched the film before passing the order, noted it has been certified by the Central Board of Film Certification. She highlighted that the film's core message is about combating social evils, and found nothing in the movie that would incite hatred or violence against the Pushtimarg sect.
