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.
