As per the portal, the film in question is going to be a period drama and has been tentatively titled as 'Maharaja'. Reportedly, the film is based on the 1862 Maharaj Libel Case. Well, trust YRF to keep everything about their projects bigger, including the star cast and the case of Junaid's debut film is no different.
