As per reports, the movie’s synopsis states, “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.”

“Karsandas Mulji, a journalist and social reformer, was a pioneering advocate for women’s rights and social reform. A student at Elphinstone College in Mumbai and a protégé of the scholar-leader Dadabhai Naoroji, he wrote on widow remarriage, stood up for the oppressed, and sowed the seeds of reform in society. It all came to a head in the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862, which was ignited by allegations of misconduct by a prominent figure, the case garnered widespread attention and scrutiny, setting the stage for what many consider to be one of the most significant legal battles of all time,” it adds.

The upcoming Netflix movie also features a special appearance by Sharvari Wagh. For the unversed, Junaid Khan is the son of Aamir Khan and his first wife Reena Dutta. Apart from ‘Maharaj’, Junaid Khan is working on two other films.

He will make his debut as a producer with ‘Pritam Pyaare’, which will have an extended guest appearance by Aamir Khan. Junaid Khan will also star alongside Sai Pallavi in a film backed by Aamir Khan Productions.
