Junaid Khan's Upcoming Film 'Ek Din': What to Expect from Aamir Khan's Son?
Junaid Khan Gears Up for His Third Film
Junaid Khan, the firstborn of Aamir Khan, is set to make waves with his second theatrical release, Ek Din. This romantic drama marks the Bollywood debut of Sai Pallavi and is directed by Sunil Pandey, scheduled to hit theaters on May 1. Having already starred in two films, this will be Junaid's third project. As a graduate of theater, expectations are notably high for him. With the premiere of Ek Din on the horizon, it's an opportune moment to revisit his previous works.
Junaid's acting journey began with the OTT film Maharaj, followed by his first theatrical venture, Loveyapa, alongside Khushi Kapoor. As we await the release of Ek Din, here’s where you can catch his earlier films on streaming platforms.
Exploring 'Maharaj'
Maharaj
Maharaj, inspired by the historical Maharaj Libel case of 1862, features Junaid alongside Sharvari and Shalini Pandey. The film, which premiered on Netflix on June 21, 2024, follows Karsan, a journalist and social reformer whose family is devoted to Maharaj JJ. Karsan's life spirals when his wife, Kishori, engages in a spiritual practice that she later reveals was not voluntary. Overwhelmed by guilt after her tragic death, Karsan confronts the spiritual authority amidst various religious challenges. As the tension escalates, Viraaj (Sharvari) becomes a beacon of hope for him. Directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, Maharaj is currently available for streaming on Netflix.
A Look at 'Loveyapa'
Loveyapa
In his debut theatrical role, Junaid plays Gaurav Sachdeva, affectionately known as Gucci. The storyline of Loveyapa revolves around his relationship with Baani Sharma (Khushi Kapoor), who is lovingly called Baani Boo. Their seemingly perfect romance faces challenges when Baani's father, Atul Kumar Sharma (Ashutosh Rana), a lawyer, decides to arrange her marriage. Upon learning about her relationship with Gaurav, he imposes a 24-hour phone swap condition. The ensuing chaos leads to comedic moments in this romantic comedy directed by Advait Chandan, which is available for streaming on JioHotstar.
