Aamir Khan’s elder son, Junaid Khan, is set to make his Bollywood debut in the period drama “Maharaj,” directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra.
The film, produced by Aditya Chopra’s YRF Entertainment, also stars Shalini Pandey and Jaideep Ahlawat.
Netflix India and YRF Entertainment recently announced the synopsis and release date for “Maharaj,” along with the first poster featuring Junaid and Jaideep.
In the poster, Junaid is seen with long hair, a moustache, a white shirt, and a brown waistcoat, while Jaideep looks like a Hindu priest, with a ponytail and a long tilak on his forehead.
The film’s caption on Netflix India’s official Instagram reads, “The fight for the truth between a powerful man and a fearless journalist. Based on true events – Maharaj is releasing on 14 June, only on Netflix!”
Set in 1862, the film’s synopsis reveals, “In a time when India had only three universities, Rabindranath Tagore was a year old, and the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 continued to spark the flames of independence. Against all odds, one man takes a courageous stand in a landmark legal battle. ‘Maharaj’ brings this true story to light more than 160 years later.”
Additionally, Aamir Khan has expressed regret over not spending enough time with his children, Ira and Junaid Khan, and now makes it a point to meet them every week.
