Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan talks about his privilege; admits getting Maharaj for his father

Junaid Khan,the elder son of actor Aamir Khan made his acting debut with Netflix's Maharaj. The period court drama also starred Jaideep Ahlawat, Sharvari Wagh and Shalini Pandey in pivotal roles. The film garnered Junaid alot of praises for his acting.

Recently Junaid came forward and acknowledged the privilege and how he ended up a role in Maharaj for his lineage. 

Junaid had already auditioned for Laal Singh Chaddha produced by his father Aamir Khan who also starred in it. Unfortunately Junaid did not land a role and talking about the same he said,"Kabhi Kabhi kuch part aapko milte hain kuch nhi milte. It is true that Maharaj ke pehle maine kuch auditions diye the. Wo nahi hue uss waqt. Yes, dad has already talked about it, so I can say yes.”

Talking about Laal Singh Chaddha and why he did not land the role was that the movie was budgeted a certain way and a newcomer in it wouldn't have fit the part. He  said," Isliye mujhe nhi muka mila woh film karne ka... But I will also admit ki if I was not Aamir Khan's son, I would probably not have gotten Maharaj,” 

Directed by Sidharth P Malhotra under the production of YRF Entertainment, Maharaj chronicled the historic 1862 Maharaj Libel Case.
