Maharaj: Following a Hindu group’s request, the Gujarat High Court has postponed the release of Aamir Khan’s son Junaid’s movie.

There has been an issue with the releasing of Aamir Khan’s oldest son Junaid’s first movie, Maharaj. India Today reports that the Gujarat High Court has now postponed the movie’s release in response to a Hindu organization’s request, arguing that the film would promote violence. Siddharth P. Malhotra is the director of Maharaj, which also features Jaideep Ahlawat.

The dispute involving Maharaj
According to the article, the stay order was granted in response to a plea that was submitted by members of the Pushtimarg sect and devotees of Lord Krishna and Vallabhacharya. The petition was founded on the claim that the movie, which is centered on the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case, had the potential to disturb public order and perhaps inspire violence against  the followers of the sect.

The petition highlights that the English judges of the Bombay Supreme Court presided over the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862, which was founded on accusations of wrongdoing by a well-known individual. The remarks said are “seriously blasphemous against devotional songs and hymns as well as Lord Krishna.”

More information
In the meantime, the lawsuit also notes that there will be restricted access to the plot because the movie is not expected to be released with enough promotional materials, such as a trailer. That might seriously damage people’s feelings. Judge Sangeeta Vishen of the Gujarat High Court issued an interim order on these grounds, prohibiting the movie’s release in any format. A hearing on the case has been set for June 18.

“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,” reads the synopsis released by the streaming behemoth. A man defies all obstacles and bravely defends himself in a historic court case; this actual story is now revealed in Maharaj, more than 160 years later.

Journalist and social reformer Karsandas Mulji was a trailblazing supporter of women’s rights and social change. He was a scholar-leader Dadabhai Naoroji’s protégé and a student at Mumbai’s Elphinstone College. He wrote on widow remarriage, supported the downtrodden, and planted the seeds of social change. 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 added.

Hashtags like ‘Boycott Netflix’ and ‘Ban Maharaj Film’ became popular in X prior to the film’s debut.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”

In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.

What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”

This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”

Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.

Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.

When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”

“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
