Bollywood actor Aamir Khan‘s son Junaid Khan is all set to be making his big Bollywood debut but not with father Aamir’s home production but with another well known banner. In 2019 when Aamir Khan was asked about son Junaid’s Bollywood debut he had revealed that he is more inclined to working in theatre than in movies but seems like the industry is waiting for Junaid.
According to a report published in Mid Day, the aspiring actor will be launched by Yash Raj Films with a yet-untitled period drama. Siddharth P Malhotra will helm the movie, which is based on the 1862 Maharaj libel case.
Producer Aditya Chopra and the director have planned it to be a massive-budget drama, authentic to the period it is set in. “Earlier, the team had locked a location in Bangur Nagar, Goregaon, to build the set. However, Adi sir felt the film would need a bigger set-up and finally zeroed in on Madh Island. The construction work will begin in a day or two. Siddharth is eyeing to take the project on floors by early 2021,” stated a source.
With Junaid Khan in the lead role, it has been planned for the social reformer Mulji, the director will soon pick the remaining cast soon. The source also mentioned that he will undergo workshops before facing the camera. Junaid is a star kid who has studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles before making his debut on the stage in 2017. Since then, he has featured in several plays, including A Farming Story, A Few Good Men, and Medea directed by sister Ira Khan. Yash Raj Films remained unavailable for comment.
