In the film Junaid plays the role of Karsandas Mulji, a journalist and social reformer and a pioneering advocate for women’s rights and social reform. A student at Elphinstone College in Mumbai and a protégé of the scholar-leader Dadabhai Naoroji, he wrote on widow remarriage, stood up for the oppressed, and sowed the seeds of reform in society.
Based on the libel case, the film introduces audiences to Junaid Khan in his acting debut helmed by filmmaker Siddharth P Malhotra. Apart from this movie, Junaid Khan will be seen sharing the screen in Sai Pallavi in a film which is reportedly titled Ek Din.
