Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan has made his much-awaited debut in Bollywood with the movie 'Maharaj'. He has been receiving a lot of love and appreciation from the viewers for his impressive performance. The '3 Idiots' actor recently threw a party for Junaid and the team of 'Maharaj' after the success of the Netflix movie. The intimate party was attended by Shalini Pandey, Reena Dutta, Siddharth P Malhotra, Jaideep Ahlawat and others.
Film's director Siddharth P Malhotra posted a bunch of pictures from the bash on Instagram and thanked Aamir Khan.
In an interview with ANI, Junaid talked about how Aamir Khan reacted after watching 'Maharaj' and talked about his decision to do this movie. He said, "He (Aamir Khan) normally lets us do what we want to do unless we ask for something very specific; then he gives advice. But he liked the film. He saw the film a few months ago and he quite liked it."
"When Sid (Siddharth P Malhotra) and Adi Sir called me for this story, I found it very appealing. I really liked Sid Sir's part. The Yash Raj banner is significant, so taking on this project was an obvious choice," he added.
'Maharaj' is based on true events that took place in the 1800s and revolves around journalist Karsandas Mulji, who decides to fight against a high priest as he is accused of sexually exploiting women devotees. The movie also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey and Sharvari in pivotal roles.

On the work front, Junaid Khan will reportedly team up with Sai Pallavi for his next project.
Aamir Khan was last seen in 'Laal Singh Chadha' along with Kareena Kapoor, Mona Singh and Naga Chaitanya. He announced a break from acting after the failure of 'Laal Singh Chadha'. While announcing a break in 2022, he told ANI, “When I am doing a film as an actor, I get so lost in that that nothing else happens in my life. I was supposed to do a film after Laal Singh Chaddha called Champions. It’s a wonderful script, a beautiful story, and it’s a very heartwarming and lovely film. But I feel that I want to take a break, be with my family, with my mom, my kids."
