Netflix on Wednesday dropped a first-look poster of Maharaj featuring Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan on Wednesday, announcing that the film will arrive in theatres on June 14.

A joint venture of Netflix and Yash Raj Productions, the movie will mark Junaid Khan’s acting debut.

“The fight for the truth between a powerful man and a fearless journalist. Based on true events — Maharaj is releasing on 14 June, only on Netflix,” the streaming giant wrote on Instagram.

The poster features Jaideep as a religious leader and Junaid as a fierce journalist in the 1800s. While Jaideep appears in religious attire, jewellery and a tilak, Junaid sports a white shirt paired with a khaki jacket. Inspired by the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case, Maharaj follows the story of a religious leader who sued a newspaper company.

“Inspired by true events, Maharaj is 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. This 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,” reads the official synopsis of the film as per IMDb.

In their February issue for Next on Netflix, the streamer wrote, “A period film, Maharaj, starring Junaid Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, is an ode to mankind’s spirit to do good, to pursue the truth at any cost, and to fight for humanity.”

Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra and produced by Aditya Chopra, Maharaj is slated to release on Netflix on June 14. The film also stars actresses Shalini Pandey and Sharvari.
