Actor Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan has been winning the hearts of the audience with his debut film Maharaj on Netflix. The YRF movie has garnered positive reactions from viewers, with Junaid’s performance receiving particular praise. Junaid plays the character of courageous journalist and dedicated social reformer Karsandas Mulji, who came to the limelight after he published an article in his newspaper, Satya Prakash, where he criticised the practices of the religious leader JJ, played by Jaideep Alhawat. Junaid shared how his father Aamir Khan reacted to the film. “He normally lets us do what we want unless we ask for specific advice. But he liked the film. He saw it a few months ago and he quite liked it,” Junaid told YEARS.
Junaid also discussed his reasons for choosing Maharaj. “When Sid (Siddharth P Malhotra) and Adi Sir called me for this story, I found it very appealing. I really liked Sid Sir’s part. The Yash Raj banner is significant, so taking on this project was an obvious choice,” he said.
