The success press conference of Maharaj was held today at Mumbai’s YRF studios in the presence of its lead star cast – Junaid Khan, Sharvari, Shalini Pandey and Jaideep Ahlawat – along with director Siddharth P Malhotra.

The director, in his opening speech, made some interesting comments about how Jaideep Ahlawat was cast in the role of the antagonist. Siddharth even said that the original choice for the villain’s role for him and producer

Siddharth P Malhotra revealed, “The only person we could think of for the role of
Maharaj was Irrfan. God bless his soul. In our opinion, nobody could play this role but Irrfan Khan. It’s a lot of pressure for Jaideep sir. Yet, I keep telling him again and again that there’s only one actor in this universe who could match Irrfan’s level of performance. And that is Jaideep Ahlawat. He can do anything

Siddharth P Malhotra, at the press conference, opened up that Jaideep’s entry shot was the last scene shot by the makers. By then, the actor had moved on to another project. Yet, when he was asked to report to the sets of Maharaj for the said scene, he asked for three months to get back in shape. The audience at the press conference applauded on learning that Jaideep worked so hard just for one scene, even though director Siddharth P Malhotra had suggested showing his ripped body through VFX.
