The Controversy Around Aamir Khan's Son's Debut Film, Decision Likely Today
NDTV
The Gujarat High Court had temporarily halted the 'Maharaj' movie a day before its OTT release on June 14.
The fate of Netflix film 'Maharaj', set to mark the debut of Aamir Khan's son Junaid, hangs in balance with a Vaishnavite sect alleging that it misrepresents their religious beliefs. The Gujarat High Court had temporarily halted it a day before its June 14 release after members of Pustimargi sect expressed concerns. A single-judge bench of Justice Sangeeta Vishen is likely to watch the movie and pass an order today.
'Maharaj', directed by Siddarth P Malhotra and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films, is based on the 1862 Maharaj libel case, which is among the few legal battles that have had a profound impact in India's history.
The Maharaj libel case saw a fearless journalist and social reformer take on the powerful Vallabhacharya sect. Revered spiritual leader Jadunathji Maharaj had filed the case after Mulji claimed in an article in his Gujarati weekly "Satya Prakash" that the godman used to exploit his women devotees under the garb of religious practices.
