The debutant has been drawing attention due to controversies surrounding his film. Talking about the film, Junaid mentioned that Aamir appreciated it.

In a conversation with ANI, Junaid was asked if he got any advice from his father. “He (Aamir) normally lets us do what we want to do unless we ask for something very specific; then he gives advice. But he liked the film. Kuch mahino pehle dekhi thi unhone film aur unko kaafi pasand aayi (He saw the film a few months ago and he liked it),” he told the agency. 

“He normally tends to give very good advice, but otherwise, he doesn’t get involved in... he lets his kids be,” the actor added.

Additionally, Junaid Khan has teased fans with details regarding his most recent project. The actor disclosed that he was currently filming in Delhi for an untitled movie. He hinted that it is backed by a prominent production house. A few weeks ago, there were rumours circulating the internet that he was filming in Delhi with Khushi Kapoor.

‘Maharaj’ was dropped on OTT after the Gujarat High Court imposed a temporary stay on its release. After the stay was lifted on Friday, YRF expressed its gratitude through an official statement. "We are grateful to the judiciary for allowing the release of Maharaj, a film that celebrates one of the most important social reformers of our country, Karsandas Mulji," read the statement. "Yash Raj Films has a 50-year-old legacy of championing India, its stories, its people, culture & heritage. We have never produced a film that tarnished the reputation of our country or our countrymen."

'Maharaj' explores the life story of social reformer Karsandas Mulji and addresses the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case, one of India's biggest court cases. The film, directed by Sidharth P. Malhotra, also features Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey, and Sharvari Wagh.
