Well, it looks YRF is set to launch another star kid in the entertainment industry and this time it is Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan. As per the latest reports, he will star in a big-budget period drama, which will be directed by Hichki helmer Siddharth P Malhotra and based on the 1862 Maharaj libel case. As per the Mid-day report, a source close to the development said, "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." Apparently, he will essay the character of social reformer Mulji in the film.
Earlier while on Karan Johar's chat show, Aamir Khan opened up saying, "I think Junaid wants to be in films. He wants to act, he also wants to direct and make a film. I warned him that he has chosen a tough path. He happens to be my son and there will always be comparisons. It'll be probably tougher for him." Later, Aamir Khan opened up on Junaid's acting debut during a group interview. "We are looking for Junaid. I've seen his work and I'm quite happy with it. When we will get the right kind of story I believe in screen tests so he has to pass the test. If he does a good test, he'll be in the film. If not, he won't be," he spilled the beans on Junaid's Bollywood dreams.
Talking about Aamir Khan, the actor will be next seen in Laal Singh Chaddha, which is the adaptation of Forrest Gump and also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh and Vijay Sethupathi in key roles. It is directed by Secret Superstar helmer Advait Chandan and will hit the screens during Christmas in 2021.
