Less than a week is left for Yash Raj Films next Netflix project ‘Maharaj’s release on the platform but the global streaming giant’s absolute silence on the same is quite perplexing.
It’s not common to see no promotional content for a project coming from one of India’s leading production houses. Apart from a poster revealing the premiere date, there’s been nothing. No teaser, trailer or anything else for that matter.
This leads to many speculations and the major one being whether ‘Maharaj’ will come out on the scheduled date or will it be delayed. There could well be technical issue leading to delay but nothing has been made official and there’s no buzz at all.
Inspired by true events, ‘Maharaj’ is touted to be an incredible David vs Goliath story. Set in the 1800s, it narrates how a regular man, journalist by profession, takes on a powerful role model of society, hailed by many as a messiah for the masses. The fearless reporter wields his pen to go toe-to-toe with this spotless figure of the community in a bid to uncover a series of incidents that shake the very foundation of society. The period drama is an ode to mankind’s spirit to do good, to pursue and discover truth at any cost and to fight for humanity. It shows how one person’s will to affect positive social change can triumph over all evil and bring those in power to justice.
‘Maharaj’ marks Junaid Khan’s debut and also stars Jaideep Ahlawat (‘Paatal Lok’, ‘An Action Hero’, ‘Jaane Jaan’, ‘Three Of Us’), Sharvari and Shalini Pandey. Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, ‘Maharaj’ is produced by Aditya Chopra under his YRF Entertainment banner.
