Controversy has erupted on social media as users call for a ban on the period drama ‘Maharaj’, set to premiere on Netflix on June 14. The film marks the debut of Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan.
Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, ‘Maharaj’ is based on the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862, a significant legal battle ignited by allegations of misconduct. The film’s release has been overshadowed by hashtags like ‘Boycott Netflix’ and ‘Ban Maharaj Film’ trending on X.
Critics, including VHP leader Sadhvi Prachi, accuse the film of disrespecting Sanatan Dharma. This backlash is reminiscent of previous controversies involving Aamir Khan’s work.
