Take a look here:

Maharaj, directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra and co-starring Jaideep Ahlawat, Sharvari Wagh, and Shalini Pandey in pivotal roles, is said to be inspired by the 1862 Maharaja Libel Case. It revolves around a religious leader who sued a newspaper for alleging inappropriate relationships with his female followers. Junaid portrays a journalist in the movie. The official Netflix handle shared the first film’s poster and wrote, “The fight for the truth between a powerful man and a fearless journalist. Based on true events, Maharaj is releasing on June 14 June, only on Netflix!.”

In an interview with News18 Showsha, Shalini had opened up on her experience of working with Junaid. She had 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 projects, and so is mine. That’s why we had a very similar energy on set.”

The synopsis of the story reads, “The year is 1862, a time when there were only three universities in India, Rabindranath Tagore is a year old and the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 continues to fan the flames of independence. Against all odds, one man takes a courageous stand in a landmark legal battle, a true story that’s now come to light in Maharaj — more than 160 years later.”
