Director Siddharth P Malhotra, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming film ‘Maharaj’, which stars the debut of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan, has shared that the film went through multiple writing drafts before the script was locked. On Thursday, the director took to his Instagram and shared an appreciation post for the writers of the film. Sharing a collage of pictures, he penned a long note in the caption.

He wrote: “My film ‘Maharaj’ releases on June 14. It’s been an uphill journey and still is for a film we all are super super proud of and you all will see soon. It begins with the writing - a writer is and for me always the highest level of importance in filmmaking. If they aren’t there to give me a blueprint to follow. No filmmaker can stand and add his or her vision.” He recollected heading back from a series pitch when director Vipul Mehta narrated this idea of a play he directed.
