About Maharaj
Maharaj is based on a real-life case with Junaid playing a journalist and social reformer called Karsandas Mulji. He exposes a religious leader, the titular Maharaj played by Jaideep, for immoral behaviour and sexual exploitation of his female devotees. The film is inspired by Saurabh Shah’s book. It is set in 1800s Bombay and also starred Sharvari.
Talking to ANI, Junaid spoke about Aamir’s feedback to Maharaj and said, “He normally lets us do what we want to do unless we ask for something very specific; then he gives advice. But he liked the film. He saw the film a few months ago and he quite liked it.”
Upcoming work
Junaid will soon direct and star in Ek Din with Sai Pallavi as his co-star. The film will be produced by Aamir and was shot in Japan. He is also reportedly working on a romantic comedy with Khushi Kapoor.
