Junaid Khan, the son of Bollywood icon Aamir Khan, is on the brink of his much-anticipated debut in Aditya Chopra’s film “Maharaja.” While anticipation builds for his inaugural cinematic venture, Junaid is already deeply immersed in filming his second project alongside co-star Sai Pallavi.
Recently, social media was abuzz with viral snapshots of Junaid and Sai amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Japan’s Sapporo Snow Festival.
In these images, Junaid cuts a stylish figure in a thick black jacket, earmuffs, and glasses, exuding both sophistication and flair. Sai perfectly complements the picturesque setting, donning a checkered jacket while showcasing her curls. The pair also took time to interact with fans during their work excursion, posing for snapshots and visiting a local store in Japan.
Junaid Khan’s second film is being produced by his father, Aamir Khan, under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions. Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, known for his work on Rani Mukherji’s “Hichki,” this project marks another significant step in Junaid’s budding career.
Meanwhile, Junaid’s debut film “Maharaja” draws inspiration from the infamous 1862 Maharaja Libel Case, focusing on a religious sect leader’s lawsuit against a newspaper for alleging his involvement in illicit relationships with his female followers. Junaid is set to portray a journalist in this courtroom drama. The film’s shooting concluded in October 2023, as confirmed by actor Shalini Pandey, who also plays a crucial role in the production.
In her interview with News18, Shalini Pandey shared her experience of working with Junaid, describing him as a laid-back individual and a fantastic co-actor. She expressed that their similar energy, given their shared age group and status as newcomers to the industry, made the shooting process enjoyable and dynamic.
