    Junaid Khan’s debut in Netflix’s Maharaj has been widely praised by critics and fans alike. In a recent interview, he discussed auditioning for his father’s film Laal Singh Chaddha.

    During an interview with ETimes, Junaid said, “I had actually auditioned for Laal Singh Chaddha, which Papa has talked about publicly, but it didn’t work out. Papa (Aamir Khan) was very keen that I do the film.”

    Kareena Kapoor, Naga Chaitanya, and Mona Singh costarred in Aamir Khan’s ‘Laal Singh Chaddha.’ It was directed by Advait Chandan remake of the movie ‘Forrest Gump.’ The movie was a complete flop at the box office.

    When questioned about the role Junaid auditioned for, ‘Maharaj’ director Siddharth P Malhotra said, “It was this audition that Adi (Aditya Chopra) and I saw, and what an audition that was… it was outstanding and if that clip can be released at some point in time, it would be great.”

    Junaid talked about how he found the story inspiring: “Karsandas Mulji was a real person who in 1862 was talking about those things which even today are happening. It happens in society today. And it happens in every society. And at that time he was fighting about it. When we didn’t have that much knowledge. So I found the character and the story very inspirational. That there is a man who had so much understanding back then.”

    The film ‘Maharaj’ is based on true events. In 1862, India had only three universities and was fighting for independence. A brave journalist and social reformer, Karsandas Mulji, stood up for women’s rights and social change. He was a student at Elphinstone College and worked with a prominent leader, Dadabhai Naoroji. Mulji wrote about important issues like widow remarriages and fought for the oppressed. He was involved in the Maharaj Libel Case, a historic court case that marked a turning point in Indian history.
