What happens

Maharaj is a 2024 Indian Hindi-language historical drama film directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra and produced by YRF Entertainment. It stars Junaid Khan in his lead film debut with Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey and Sharvari. The film is based on the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862 and Saurabh Shah's novel about the case. Initially scheduled to release on 14 June 2024, the Gujarat High Court stayed the release of the film, based on a Hindu group's plea that claimed the film could incite violence against followers of Pushtimarga Sampradaya (a Vaishnava Krishna sect). It was finally released on 21 June 2024 for streaming on Netflix. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
