Aamir Khan on Junaid's debut
Earlier, in an interview, Aamir spoke about Junaid's Bollywood debut. He said, "It is up to him (about making his film debut). He should lead his own life and take his own decisions. I don't want to take it for him. I have left it all to him. He certainly has an inclination towards the creative world and towards filmmaking. He is following his path, he has studied theatre. He is actually more interested in theatre than films. I am allowing him to go and find his own path. That's how it should be. He is very bright''.
Also, Aamir Khan made it clear that if Junaid wants to venture into Bollywood as an actor, then he will have to follow the proper process and give audition for roles."If I feel there is something that I got and if he (Junaid) fits in, then only (I will cast him)... He will have to go through a casting process. He hasn't audition for anything," Aamir said.
