Junaid Khan praises Maharaj co-star Jaideep Ahlawat
Junaid Khan, in his Bollywood debut with Netflix movie Maharaj, praised Jaideep Ahlawat as a fantastic actor. He mentioned in an interview with Bollywood Hungama that Ahlawat is one of the best actors in the industry today.
“He’s superb. Working with him was a great experience when you are graphing scenes together… As characters, we’re pitted against each other but as actors, we’re always working together. He has tremendous insight into character, into how a scene should play out. So, it was great,” Junaid stated.
Junaid Khan reacts to his debut movie being put on hold
After the trailer release, a wing of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad objected to the film’s release and demanded a special screening before it was made public. The movie faced a court battle and was placed on hold.
On June 21, the Gujarat High Court lifted the stay order and Maharaj was finally released on the OTT platform. Junaid expressed the tough time they went through and the faith they had in the film and its viewers. The team believed the movie was handled sensitively and remained hopeful.
Aamir Khan watched the movie before its release and thought it was good. Junaid is now busy with another film backed by Aamir Khan Productions.
