Siddharth P Malhotra is celebrating the success and the acclaim 'Maharaj' has garnered on the leading OTT platform. The film, based on the 1862 court case known as 'The Maharaj Libel Case' in Bombay, featured Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan as Karsandas Mulji. On the social reformer's birth anniversary, Malhotra took to his social media and expressed how what they've shown in the film about Karsandas Mulji is "literally a drop in the ocean for the work this great man has done".

"However, I am grateful that through 'Maharaj', people are becoming aware of such an unsung hero who has shaped our society. Happy birthday, sir, and bless us from above," he wrote in a moving note on Karsandas' birth anniversary. Previously, in an exclusive behind-the-scenes video, the director also thanked Aditya Chopra for supporting his vision and bringing 'Maharaj' to life.



'Maharaj' topped the streaming platform's top 10 charts in India and 22 ther countries. Five weeks later, the film is still trending in the top tens list globally. Maharaj, which marked Junaid's acting debut, marks Siddharth P Malhotra's return to directing after his last blockbuster, 'Hichki'.
