He lauds their dedication, emphasizing that without a robust blueprint, no filmmaker can infuse their vision into a project.

From Concept to Creation


The genesis of 'Maharaj' traces back to a serendipitous encounter, as Malhotra stumbled upon the idea during a discussion with director Vipul Mehta.

Each draft was meticulously honed, reflecting a collaborative effort fueled by passion and dedication. Over a hundred narrations ensued, a testament to the writers' unwavering commitment to excellence.

The Sneha Desai Touch


A pivotal figure in the film's evolution, Sneha Desai's multifaceted contributions left an indelible mark on the project. Beyond her stellar performance and writing prowess, Desai played a pivotal role in acquainting the actors with the nuances of the script's language. Her presence on set provided invaluable guidance, elevating the authenticity of each performance.

A Stellar Ensemble


'Maharaj' boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey, and Sharvari Wagh, among others. Anchored by Junaid Khan's much-anticipated debut, the film promises to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and powerhouse performances.

A Cinematic Journey


Based on Saurabh Shah's acclaimed book, 'Maharaj' offers a cinematic odyssey into the heart of its narrative. With Netflix set to unveil the film on June 14, audiences can brace themselves for an immersive experience that transcends the realms of storytelling.
