‘Maharaj’: Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan's debut film to release on OTT; find out its release date

Aamir Khan’s son Junaid’s debut film ‘Maharaj’ is all set to premiere on Netflix on June 14. The marketing campaign will begin with the trailer release on June 5.

Maharaj, which also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Sharvari Wagh, and Shalini Pandey in pivotal roles, is inspired by the 1862 Maharaja Libel Case. The film revolves around a religious leader who sues a newspaper for alleging inappropriate relationships with his female followers. Junaid Khan reportedly portrays a journalist in the movie.

In an interview with News18, Shalini had opened up on her experience of working with Junaid. She said, ‘Junaid is a very easy breezy human being. He’s a good co-actor to work with. I had a lot of fun working with him. We’re in the same age group, so we had a blast during the shoot. Maharaj is one of his first few projects and so is mine. That’s why we had a very similar energy on set.’

Junaid Khan began preparing for his acting career over 4 years ago. He landed his debut role in YRF’s ‘Maharaj’, which wrapped filming last October.

He has also completed shooting his second film with director Siddharth and co-star Sai Pallavi. Junaid is now set to start filming his third movie, a remake of the Tamil romantic comedy ‘Love Today’ (2022), with Khushi Kapoor.

Aamir Khan is producing Junaid's second film, directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra. Recent BTS pictures showed Sai Pallavi and Junaid shooting together at Japan's Sapporo Snow Festival. Despite unfavorable weather, the team worked 12–14 hours daily to stay on track. Reports indicate that Aamir Khan stays in constant touch with Junaid and the crew to ensure the shoot progresses smoothly.

Junaid is Aamir Khan’s eldest son with his first wife, Reena Dutta. Aamir also has a daughter, Ira Khan, with Reena and a son, Azad, with his second wife, Kiran Rao.
