Gujarat HC Clears Path for Junaid Khan's Debut Film 'Maharaj'

The Gujarat High Court has lifted an interim stay on the release of Yash Raj Films' period drama 'Maharaj', which marks the debut of Aamir Khan's son Junaid. The film, set in pre-independent India, is based on the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862 and celebrates social reformer Karsandas Mulji.

In a significant legal victory for Yash Raj Films (YRF), the Gujarat High Court has lifted the interim stay on the release of 'Maharaj', a period drama that introduces Bollywood star Aamir Khan's son, Junaid Khan, to the silver screen.

The film is set in pre-independent India and revolves around the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862. The court ruled that 'Maharaj' does not target the Vaishnav Pushtimarg sect, refuting claims that it would hurt religious sentiments.

After viewing the film, the court found nothing objectionable, allowing its release on Netflix. YRF expressed gratitude to the judiciary, emphasizing that 'Maharaj' is a tribute to Karsandas Mulji, a significant social reformer. The studio reaffirmed its 50-year legacy of championing India's culture and heritage.
