MUMBAI: Rumors are circulating in India’s entertainment industry about the potential retirement of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, famously known as Mr. Perfectionist. Speculation regarding the actor’s retirement gained traction after an interview with his son, Junaid Khan, who is set to debut in the Netflix film “Maharaj.”
In the interview, Junaid Khan mentioned that his father is considering retirement, which prompted him to formally embark on his own career in the film industry. He shared that his experiences on film sets, working behind the scenes on “PK,” and shooting ads have given him a comprehensive understanding of production.
Junaid Khan revealed, “I have always been behind the camera on film sets, working on a project for Aamir Khan Productions when my father said to me, ‘I’m retiring; why don’t you step in?’”
This was the moment, Junaid explained, when he felt it was time to officially step into production. “I think I have a strong understanding of film production, which is undoubtedly one of the most challenging areas of filmmaking,” he added.
Aamir Khan is currently working on the second part of his renowned film, “Taare Zameen Par.” The Bollywood megastar has been facing a tough phase in his career following a series of box-office disappointments. In 2018, his movie “Thugs of Hindostan” turned out to be a significant failure, followed by “Laal Singh Chaddha,” which similarly failed to perform well at the box office.
