Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan's debut as an actor was scheduled for today with the release of 'Maharaj' on Netflix. However, the film directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and backed by YRF landed in a legal soup ahead of its release. Hours before its streaming release on Netflix, the Gujarat High Court put a stay on the film following a plea by a Hindu group. The petitioners claimed that the film could potentially incite violence 

A reputed, veteran trade source says, "YRF and Netflix are challenging the Stay order. The matter is in court. Maharaj is based on a real-life case. It is adapted from Saurabh Shah's book titled Maharaj. The author has also come out to say that the film does not vilify the Vaishnav community or the religion. It is about a social reformer, who brought about a positive change in society. The makers are hopeful for a positive outcome on this.”
