"A film release is almost like the arrival of a child for a film maker," says Director Siddharth P Malhotra in a note as his film, Maharaj, finally releases on OTT. Taking to social media, Malhotra penned an emotional note about how the film tells a story that “needs to be told against all odds”. He said that even though the battle to release the film was uphill, they hope the pain and obstacles were worth it as the team is “super proud” of the film, which marks Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan’s acting debut.

“The film is finally live. Please watch the film and share it on social media to spread the word. we promise you it’s well worth your time and your families too. It’s a story hopefully you will agree that needs to be told,” he wrote in the long post.
The film is receiving immense love from critics. While people are praising Junaid’s first stint as an actor, critics are raving over Jaideep Ahlawat’s performance in it. The film marked Malhotra’s return to the director’s chair after Rani Mukherji’s ‘Hichki’, which released in theatres in 2018.
