 "Aamir Khan on son Junaid Khan's debut 'Loveyapa' box-office failure: 'It received a lot of backlash, it was heavily trolled and...'")
Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan’s debut ‘Loveyapa’ failed at the box-office. It was a film that also starred Khushi Kapoor. In an interview with Raj Shamani, the actor broke his silence on why his son’s film bombed.
Aamir Khan said, “When Loveyapa released, I really liked the film and thought Junaid had done a good job. The role he played was quite different from his real personality. Junaid has this quality — he transforms into the character.”
He added, “I think the film received a lot of negative backlash. It was heavily trolled and got dragged into the nepotism debate, labelled as a ’nepo kid’ film). But Junaid and I are not like that. Until now, I’ve not interfered in his career, nor do I want to. In fact, I discouraged him from formally learning acting.”
Junaid Khan on Nepotism
In an interview with Humans Of Bombay, the actor acknowledged the privilege that comes with nepotism and said nobody has written anything negative about him on social media just as yet as he’s not on the platform so he’s unaware.
In another interview last year, Juanid said, “I think as actors, we often audition for a lot of things. Sometimes you get certain parts, sometimes you do not. Before Maharaj, there were films for which I auditioned but did not get. “
On being an AD
I don’t know if it has helped me as an actor much but it teaches you how a set runs. I was lucky enough to be on a set where we were actually shooting on a 35mm film. PK was the last film to be shot like that. So you really get to know your workspace and the nuts and bolts of how it functions. And I think that’s always helpful to know your workspace and where you want to be working to understand how it works. But I don’t know if it gives you any direct assistance as an actor.
