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. In a recent interview with ANI, Junaid talked about how Aamir Khan reacted after watching 'Maharaj' and talked about his decision to do this movie. 'Maharaj' is streaming on Netflix.
While speaking to ANI, Junaid Khan 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.
Earlier on Junaid’s birthday, 'Maharaj' director Siddharth P Malhotra shared a heartfelt note on Instagram. He wrote, “This boy’s passion and dedication is truly unmatched. They say a fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, which is truly the case for Junaid. He’s got his work ethics from his father for sure, and acting capabilities too. Happy birthday Junaid wish you loads of love and happiness and memorable roles and films always ! Have the best day and year ever.. I’ve seen you work hard and your journey since the past 4 years and I can confidently say I’m super super proud of you as a person and actor both.”
