Aamir Khan‘s son Junaid Khan‘s highly anticipated Bollywood debut in Yash Raj Film’s ambitious drama, ‘Maharaj’, has been the talk of the town. Recently, the first look poster was revealed by the makers along with an official announcement, heightening the anticipation surrounding the project.
Earlier today, on May 29, the streaming platform unveiled the first look poster of the film on their social media handle, showcasing Jaideep Ahlawat and Junaid Khan.
The caption accompanying the post read, “The fight for truth between a powerful man and a fearless journalist. Based on true events, Maharaj is releasing on June 14, only on Netflix!” It’s evident that both actors undergo a remarkable transformation in their roles in the period drama, making them almost unrecognizable.
In the poster, Jaideep, portraying the role of a king, stands regally against the backdrop of his opulent palace. In contrast, Junaid is featured with a newspaper backdrop reading “Supreme Court of Bombay.” The thematic contrast suggests that the two will engage in a clash of ideologies in the film.
Siddharth P. Malhotra helms the historic period drama, which unfolds against the backdrop of the 1862 Maharaja Libel Case, with backing from Aditya Chopra. As per insiders, the trailer for Maharaj is slated for release around June 5, followed by a 9-day interval before the film hits screens. A report in Pinkvilla states that, being an OTT release, Netflix has strategically devised a short pre-release campaign. The major push will come post-release, when the content does the talking and creates more points for conversation.
