Few people know outside of the industry know that Aamir Khan’s son Junaid has been around for a while. Following his 3 years of studies in dramatics and subsequent graduation, Junaid dedicated few years to honing his craft in theatre. However, theatre wasn’t his sole endeavour. Since 2017, concurrently with his theatrical pursuits, Junaid actively explored opportunities in the film industry.
Source close to the industry revealed, “Junaid auditioned a lot but faced numerous rejections, including from his father’s home production Laal Singh Chadda. Despite encountering seven significant rejections, the producer of his upcoming film stumbled upon one of Junaid’s previous audition tapes, offering him to audition. However, even this opportunity came with certain conditions.”
The filming of the movie began in February 2021 and concluded within eight months. Since then, Junaid has been waiting for its release.
Junaid is all set to make his Bollywood debut with Netflix film Maharaj. Backed by Yash Raj Film, Maharaj is all set to release on June 14.
Maharaj, directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra and co-starring Jaideep Ahlawat, Sharvari Wagh, and Shalini Pandey in pivotal roles, is said to be inspired by the 1862 Maharaja Libel Case. It revolves around a religious leader who sued a newspaper for alleging inappropriate relationships with his female followers. Junaid portrays a journalist in the movie.
The synopsis of the story reads, “The year is 1862, a time when there were only three universities in India, Rabindranath Tagore is a year old and the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 continues to fan the flames of independence. Against all odds, one man takes a courageous stand in a landmark legal battle, a true story that’s now come to light in Maharaj — more than 160 years later.”
A source close to the actor had earlier mentioned that Junaid will be shooting the whole day for his untitled next with Khushi Kapoor. The source said, “It would be interesting to see the two actors sharing the screen space for the first time and showcase their talent.”
