Junaid Khan Praises Co-Star Jaideep Ahlawat in Acting Debut
Junaid Khan, son of renowned actor Aamir Khan, has entered the Bollywood industry with the Netflix film Maharaj. The biographical crime drama also features Jaideep Ahlawat, and Khan has expressed his admiration for working alongside him.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Khan lauded Ahlawat's exceptional acting abilities, stating, He's superb... Working with him was a great experience when you are graphing scenes together... As characters, we're pitted against each other but as actors, we're always working together. He has tremendous insight into character, into how a scene should play out. So, it was great.
Maharaj Debut Faced Obstacles
However, Khan's debut faced some hurdles. After the film's trailer release, a wing of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad objected to its release and demanded a special screening. The movie subsequently went to court and was put on hold.
Despite the challenges, Khan and the team remained confident. It was a tough time, Khan admitted. The entire team was on the edge. However, we also had a lot of faith in the film and the people who had already watched the movie.
Aamir Khan's Support and Upcoming Projects
Aamir Khan, Junaid's father, watched the movie before its release and gave it a positive review. Junaid is currently involved in another film supported by Aamir Khan Productions.
Junaid Khan's debut in Maharaj is a testament to his talent and his commitment to exceptional storytelling. The film's eventual release after the initial obstacles showcases the resilience of the team and their belief in the importance of sensitive filmmaking.
