‘Maharaj’ actor Junaid Khan and director Siddharth P Malhotra discussed the production of the film and the hurdles it faced before its release. 'Maharaj' delves into the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case. The film stars Junaid Khan alongside Jaideep Ahlawat and Shalini Pandey, with a special appearance by Sharvari. Malhotra said, “The period of release was very painful. They say never judge a book by its cover, so our cover was just a poster and the judgement started from there. I cried a lot. But I am happy that now that the film has been released, it is being seen with the full intention for which it was made and it is now evident that there is nothing anti in it, it is pro-religion.” Khan said, “I have been auditioning since 2017, I liked the story when Siddharth P Malhotra approached me for the film. I loved the script when it was narrated to me and I had faith that Siddharth P Malhotra would make such a sensitive film properly”

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent remarks about Indian heritage, particularly on Raja and Maharaja, stating that "accidental Hindus" like Gandhi cannot appreciate the rich traditions of India. He noted that people who are unfamiliar with the country's history and geography often make irrelevant statements. Reflecting on Gandhi's comments, Yogi Adityanath recalled that Gandhi once described himself as an "accidental Hindu." The Chief Minister emphasized that India has a diverse and vibrant heritage, with contributions from sages, Maharajas, and various segments of society. He also pointed out that Rahul Gandhi has seemingly overlooked the atrocities committed by the Mughals in their attempts to Islamize India. According to Yogi Adityanath, it's unfortunate that those who refer to themselves as "accidental Hindus" struggle to take pride in India's rich cultural legacy.
