Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan has spoken openly on nepotism in Bollywood and the benefits given to star kids. Junaid’s initial film ‘Ek Din’ did not do much at the box office, but despite this he has no dearth of work. Junaid admitted that being Aamir Khan’s son, he is getting easy opportunities in the industry. ‘The word nepotism does not irritate me’ In an interview given to Vicky Lalwani, Junaid accepted his privilege. He said, “The word nepotism does not bother me because it is true. I get a lot of work because I am Aamir Khan’s son.” Junaid believes that star kids are already recognizable faces to the audience, which makes it easier for producers to market and sell the film. Producers have to sell the product, talent comes later. Talking on the issue of casting, Junaid said that in the film industry, marketability is given more importance than talent. “Producers have to sell their films, so they will hire someone they can sell easily,” he explains. According to him, many times the makers do not look at who is the best actor for the role, but rather look at whose face can bring commercial benefits to the film. After 2 flops, he said – ‘Sir, let me work’ On the failure of his films, Junaid said in a humorous manner, “Sir, even after 2 flops, I am still getting work, so please let me work.” Talking about the performance of the film ‘Ek Din’, he admitted that the entire team had better expectations from this film. Sai Pallavi was with him in the film and it was made under the banner of Aamir Khan. Junaid said that he personally liked the film, but it could not connect with the mass audience. Aamir’s reaction on failure Junaid also told how his father Aamir Khan views the failure of films. He said that even after spending decades in the industry, flop films affect Aamir emotionally. However, Aamir likes to move forward by keeping himself busy with work and focuses on the next project with new energy. Talking about Junaid Khan’s future projects, he will soon be seen in ‘Ragini MMS 3’. Tamannaah Bhatia is in the lead role with him in this film. However, not much information has been shared yet regarding the story and release date of the film.
