MUMBAI: Rumors are circulating in India’s entertainment industry about the potential retirement of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. Famously known as Mr. Perfectionist, the speculation regarding the Bollywood star’s retirement gained traction after an interview with his son, Junaid Khan, who is set to debut in the Netflix film Maharaj.
In an interview, Junaid Khan shared that his father is considering retirement, which prompted him to formally embark on his own career in the film world. He said that his experience on film sets, working behind the scenes in PK, and shooting ads have given him a comprehensive understanding of what goes into 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 that he should 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 said to be working on the second part of his renowned film, Taare Zameen Par. The Bollywood megastar has been facing a tough phase in his career, after 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.
