Ban Maharaj Film

Bollywood always tries to show Hindu religious practices & its culture in poor light.
Maharaj centres around on a true story of the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862 considered to be one of the most significant legal battles in India. In the film, Junaid plays a journalist and social reformer Karsandas Mulji while Jaideep is seen essaying the role of Jadunathji Brijratanji Maharaj, one of the heads of the Vallabhacharya sect.
Earlier this week, a spokesperson of the Bajrang Dal demanded for a discreer screening of the film to members of the fringe group before it is released by the makers on OTT. The spokesperson also threatened to stall the release of the film if the makers do not agree to their demands, and said that they will also take the legal route if need be.
