A wave of controversy has hit social media ahead of the Netflix premiere of ‘Maharaj’, the debut film of Bollywood star Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan.
Hashtags such as ‘Boycott Netflix,’ ‘Ban Maharaj Film,’ and ‘Aamir Khan’ began trending on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, just a day before the film’s release on June 14.

Another condemned the ‘PK’ star for launching his son in such a controversial movie. “Hindumisic movie creating a false image of Sadhus and the Vallabh Sampradaya, by quoting an incident during the British regime “, ranted another user.
“Netflix is back with Anti-Hindu Content. Amir Khan launches his son by throwing dirt on Sanatan Dharma. The Film shows Hindu Sadhus as miscreant and lustful. Will Amir Khan make such movie on Islam and Maulana? It’s time Hindus Boycott @NetflixIndia #BoycottNetflix”, another user added.
