Junaid Khan, who recently ventured into the world of Bollywood, has shared an interesting insight into how he manages his career choices and why he has decided to keep his father, superstar Aamir Khan, at a distance from his professional scripts. In a candid conversation, Junaid admitted that he has completely stopped sharing new projects with his father after a significant learning experience during his film Ek Din. He explained that while he initially sought a second opinion from his dad on the script for Ek Din, the situation escalated in a way he hadn’t anticipated. As soon as Aamir heard the narration, he became emotionally moved and insisted on producing the film himself, making a heartfelt request to the original makers that they couldn’t refuse. While Junaid acknowledges that his father is a fantastic producer with an incredible eye for detail, he realized that involving him changes the entire timeline and scale of a project.
The young actor further elaborated that the working style of Aamir Khan Productions involves a very meticulous and time-consuming process, often taking up to five years to bring a single film to completion. Junaid noted that while this slow and steady pace is perfectly fine for an established legend like Aamir Khan, it doesn’t align with the needs of a newcomer who is just starting to build momentum in the industry. He expressed that if he continued to show every script to his father, he might end up having only one release every few years, which would make it difficult to establish a consistent presence on screen. By keeping his scripts private, Junaid is aiming to maintain a steady flow of work and take independent risks that allow him to grow as an actor on his own terms without the heavy weight of a massive production banner attached to every move.
Reflecting on the commercial underperformance of Ek Din, Junaid shared that while the team was hopeful, sometimes films simply don’t connect with the audience as expected. He mentioned that his father still gets deeply attached to the projects he backs and takes their failure to heart, yet always manages to stay hopeful and move on to the next challenge. For Junaid, the decision to work independently isn’t about a lack of respect but rather about finding his own voice and avoiding the “superstar pace” that comes with Aamir’s involvement. He remains focused on making his own identity in Bollywood, choosing projects that excite him personally and ensuring that his career moves at a speed that allows him to learn and evolve through a variety of different roles.
