Junaid Khan-Starring ‘Maharaj’ Is Ratings Success for Netflix, Yash Raj Films (EXCLUSIVE)


'Maharaj,' a period drama film made for Netflix is a hit for Junaid Khan, son of Indian superstar Aamir Khan, in his debut role.

In its second week, it was watched for 5.3 million hours, propelling it to second place in the streamer’s non-English language films list for the period June 24-30. Set in the 1800s and drawing on a real-world libel case, “Maharaj” is a David vs Goliath story about how a regular man, a journalist by profession, takes on a powerful role-model of society, hailed by many as a messiah for the masses. Indian media reports this week that Junaid Khan has two other film projects lined up, one with Sai Pallavi and another with Khushi Kapoor.
