Regrettably, Maharaj fell victim to piracy on its release day. Reports indicate that the movie was illegally uploaded on torrent sites like MovieRulz, Tamilrockers, 1337x, and various Telegram channels in HD quality. This incident highlights a persistent issue in the film industry, where movies are often leaked online before or shortly after their official release, despite ongoing efforts to combat piracy.

This is not the first time movies have been leaked before or after release, as piracy has become rampant these days. Illegal torrents of movies and shows often appear on these sites on the day of their release. Despite many strict actions and restrictions, previously blocked sites have resurfaced, perpetuating piracy. Cyber cells should take strict action against these websites. Maharaj Movie Review: Junaid Khan's Debut is a Major Letdown Barring Jaideep Ahlawat's Chilling Performance.

Maharaj is based on the 1862 Maharaj liberal case. The film's story revolves around Karsandas Mulji, a journalist and social reformer who was a leading supporter of women's rights and social change.
