which

Junaid
Khan
Reveals
How
His
‘Perfectionist’
Father
Aamir
Khan
Reacts
To
Maharaj

Junaid
Khan
revealed
while
talking
to
Puja
Talwar,
“I
think
he
liked
the
film.
But
that
is
also…he
likes
everything.
As
an
audience
and
when
he
watches
something
he
wants
to
enjoy
it,
so
he
ends
up
liking
it.
Barring
his
own
films
where
he’s
not
an
audience.”

When
Junaid
was
asked
if
there
is
any
baggage
of
legacy
and
if
he
is
‘perfectionist’
like
his
father,
Junaid
said,
“I
don’t
think
so.
Everybody
has
to
do
their
own
thing.
Life
pans
out
differently
for
everybody.
I’m
on
this
journey,
enjoying
myself.”

Why
Did
Junaid
Khan
Choose
A
Controversial
Drama
For
His
Bollywood
Debut?

Maharaj
is
based
on
the
Maharaj
libel
case
which
unveils
the
dark
truth
of
sexual
exploitation
among
spiritual
gurus.
When
Junaid
was
asked
why
he
chose
the
unconventional
drama,
he
said,
“I
don’t
know
about
it
being
an
unconventional
(debut)
because
YRF
is
a
big
banner
and
Sid
sir
(director
Siddharth
Malhotra)
wanted
me
(in
the
film).
The
story
is
inherently
very
dramatic.”

He
added,
“I
have
been
doing
theatre
in
Mumbai
since
2017.
Sid
sir
asked
me
to
come
and
test
for
this
film.
I
didn’t
think
of
it
as
conventional
or
unconventional.
I
guess
producers
and
directors
didn’t
see
me
in
romantic
dramas.
You
do
the
work
you
get
but
it
was
a
lovely
script.
It
is
such
a
wide
medium,
I
don’t
think
there
is
any
protection
in
films.”
