Junaid Khan Turns Down ₹100 Crore Film to Share Screen Time with Dad Aamir Khan
For most rising actors, a ₹100 crore movie offer would be a dream come true. But for Junaid Khan, it was something he willingly walked away from — and the reason is refreshingly personal.

The son of legendary actor Aamir Khan, Junaid Khan has been carving his own space in the industry with quiet determination. Yet when the chance came to appear in a heartfelt promo for Aamir’s recent release Sitaare Zameen Par, he didn’t hesitate. The catch? It meant turning down a major film deal.
The candid moment between the father-son duo, captured during the shoot, is already creating buzz online. In typical Aamir fashion, he teased Junaid Khan about his choice, jokingly calling him a “nepo kid” — a nod to the never-ending debates around nepotism in Bollywood.
But the banter was clearly rooted in affection. “You gave up a ₹100 crore film just for this?” Aamir said with a laugh, while Junaid Khan grinned back, unfazed.
Industry insiders say the promo explores themes of mentorship, creativity, and family — making Junaid’s decision to be a part of it even more meaningful. And while the move might raise eyebrows among career strategists, many fans are praising the young actor for prioritizing personal connection over prestige.
This marks the first time the two Khans have appeared on screen together, even if just for a promo. It’s not a feature film, but the chemistry is unmistakable — part playful, part profound, and entirely real.
