Superstar speaks about son’s disaster
If there is one thing that is certain in the film industry, it is that chances and expectations can be inherited from family.
By: Tupaki Desk | 3 Jun 2025 12:00 AM ISTIf there is one thing that is certain in the film industry, it is that chances and expectations can be inherited from family. But the hard fact, here is that talent and rightful film making cannot be inherited in any way, and they have to be cultivated through hard work.
Incidentally, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan got a hold on this, the hard as his son Junaid Khan had a disaster debut with his maiden Hindi film that got brutally trolled from all quarters.
Aamir Khan recently spoke about the failure of his son Junaid Khan’s first film Loveyapa, which also starred Khushi Kapoor. The movie didn’t do well at the box office.
Aamir said that while some people may have judged the film because of nepotism, the real problem was the way the film was made. Many people felt that both lead actors didn’t perform well. Junaid’s acting seemed flat and lifeless, while Khushi’s performance was a bit over the top. Also, the movie was almost an exact copy of the Tamil film Love Today, so audiences didn’t find anything new or exciting in it.
Aamir admitted these issues openly, showing that he’s willing to learn from mistakes. He has done this in the past too—he took responsibility when his own films like Thugs of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha failed.
Now, Aamir is working on a new movie called Sitaare Zameen Par, which is a sports drama set to release on December 25, 2024. He’s using this time to carefully plan his next steps in the film industry.
