Sharvari Wagh and Aamir Khan's son Junaid to pair in Yash Raj Films' next?

According to Mid-Day, Sharvari Wagh opened up about how she observed a distinct change in how filmmakers perceived her and revealed that getting to meet filmmakers is easier now after the release of her first film. Adding to it, she even shed light on how she perceived competition and opportunities differently and added how she received appreciation for her work despite receiving unfortunate box office numbers.

“Getting meetings is easier post the film. I come from a place where I have seen a long line of auditions. So, I perceive competition and opportunities differently. It was a little unfortunate in terms of the [box-office] numbers, but I received appreciation for my work.”

Sharvari Wagh then threw some light on her upcoming movie, Maharaja, in which she will reportedly be sharing the screen with Aamir Khan's son, Junaid. However, the actor did not confirm the same during her interaction.

“I have a film with Yash Raj that will hopefully release this year. History intrigues me. I want to do movies that blend mythology and history. Women were portrayed as warriors, and [their characters] had a good blend of charisma and elegance. Stories matter the most to me; I want to do author-backed roles.”

Sharvari Wagh's Maharaja is being directed by the debutant filmmaker, Siddharth P Malhotra and will reportedly be based on the infamous 1862 Maharaja libel case. According to various media reports, the story is about the head of a religious group who filed a case against a newspaper that exposed his sexual liaisons with his female devotees. Junaid will be seen playing the role of the journalist Karsandas Mulji.
