Back in March when Netflix released its slate of upcoming releases for the year, fans caught a glimpse of Aamir Khan’s son – Junaid Khan- debut project. Titled ‘Maharaj’, the movie started becoming the talk of the town. Fans have been waiting to see the debutant actor in his maiden project. A recent report has revealed that the movie will be releasing on Netflix in June.
As reported by Pinkvilla, ‘Maidaan’ is set to release on Netflix next month. The report quoted a source close to the project who revealed that the movie will be available to stream from June 14 onwards. The source said, “YRF and Aditya Chopra have great faith in the content of Maharaj and believe that Netflix will push the film further to a global audience. They along with Netflix are all set to launch the film digitally on June 14, 2024. A crisp marketing campaign is put in place for Maharaj.”
The source continued, “Being an OTT release, Netflix has strategically devised a short pre-release campaign. The major push will come post the release when the content does the talking and creates more points for conversation.”
The report also mentioned that the trailer of ‘Maharaj’ will be released in the first week of June. Set in 1862, this period drama revolves around the 1862 Maharaja Libel Case. It has been reported that Khan had been preparing for his role for four years. Helmed by Siddharth P Malhotra, ‘Maharaj’ will also star Sharvari and Jaideep Ahlawat in key roles.
The film marks Yash Raj Films’ third direct-to-digital project, following ‘Romantics’ and ‘The Railway Men.’ It stars Khan as a journalist who challenges those in positions of power. Additionally, he has another upcoming release, a remake of ‘Love Today,’ which will be produced by Aamir Khan.
