Having worked actively in theatres for over 6 years, Aamir Khan's eldest son Junaid Khan is currently gearing up for his upcoming play ‘Strictly Unconventional'. All set to make his screen debut with YRF's ‘Maharaj', the actor is quite accomplished when it comes to the stage.

According to a source, "The play has multiple relationship stories and Junaid Khan is part of two of them. Both roles are poles apart. In one, which is worth immense praise, he will be seen playing a transwoman. He will be seen donning a churidar kameez with a wig. It is going to be performed on the evening of November 15 at Prithvi Theatre."

Junaid Khan made his debut with theatre in August 2017 with director Quasar Thakore Padamsee's adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's ‘Mother Courage and Her Children', a biting satire on the absurdity of war. Since then the actor has been has been following his passion and honing his craft with years of dedicated and impressive work in theatre. And now, while his on-screen debut is awaited, he continues his passion for acting through theatre as well.

On the work front, while his screen debut is announced as his project with YRF called Maharaj, as per reports he also has already signed another film which will also star Sai Pallavi opposite him, in a love story.

Recently, during an interview with a leading channel, Aamir Khan talked about his experiences as a father and fatherhood where he revealed a lot about Junaid including how, although a class topper, he was known to be a really shy and introverted child. But when it comes to work he will be extremely outgoing and aggressive, but in terms of partying out, meeting people etc, Junaid is quite reserved. We also learnt that he still travels by public transport because he never allowed his dad to buy him a car as Junaid wants to be a self-made person.

Meanwhile, before the audience gets to witness his acting skills on the big screen, he will be donning the hat of a producer. During an interview, Aamir had confirmed that his son will be producing the film titled Pritam Pyaare. In his statement, Aamir said, "Junaid is now entering Bollywood as a producer like my father. With a new director and new team, I am happy with his work. I am doing a cameo in his movie for 5 minutes."
