Bollywood star Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan's debut movie Maharaj, which was released on the streaming platform Netflix, has been receiving positive reviews and has been well-received by the audience.
Maharaj, a period drama, set in pre-independent India, is based on the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862. Produced by Aditya Chopra under YRF Entertainment, Maharaj is directed by Siddharth P Malhotra of Hichki fame.
Speaking about the movie, Junaid Khan said his father Aamir Khan saw the film a few months ago and quite liked it.
"He (Aamir Khan) 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," Junaid Khan has been quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
The younger Khan expressed happiness over the largly positive response the movie has been garnering saying, "I am greatful for the by and large positive response that Maharaj has received. So yeah, it's quite satisfying. I guess all is well that ends well."
Maharaj also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey, and Sharvari Wagh in a special appearance. YRF Entertainment said the movie is a tribute to one of the greatest social reformers of India, Karsandas Mulji.
