#Maharaj movie on Netflix is an amazing movie. #Junaidkhan was excellent in the movie. Something about him is so endearing & earthy unlike the other star kids. Movie is not anti-Hindu. It’s about those people who use faith to abuse women/children. This happens & we must be aware

The must-watch #Maharaj. Not anti-Hindu at all. It's a real story and our PM @narendramodi had lauded Karsan's gumption on record. @yrf@JaideepAhlawat@JunaidkhanREALhttps://t.co/WyhS2vHU95
