Junaid Khan’s second film is backed by his father and actor Aamir Khan under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions. It is helmed by Siddharth P Malhotra, known for directing Rani Mukherji’-starrer Hichki.
Meanwhile, Junaid’s debut film Maharaja draws inspiration from the infamous 1862 Maharaja Libel Case, wherein the leader of a religious sect sued a newspaper for alleging his involvement in illicit relations with his female followers. Junaid is said to portray a journalist in the film, positioned on the opposing side of the courtroom drama. The movie’s team wrapped up its shooting schedule in October 2023, as confirmed by actor Shalini Pandey, who also plays a pivotal role in the production.
In her interview with News18, she also opened up on her experience of working with Junaid. She said, “Junaid is a very easy breezy human being. He’s a good co-actor to work with. I had a lot of fun working with him. We’re in the same age group, so we had a blast during the shoot. Maharaj is one of his first few projects and so is mine. That’s why we had a very similar energy on set.”
