While he is currently preparing for his next project, \u201cLoveyapa\u201d with Khushi Kapoor, the young actor recently opened up about losing the opportunity to star in his father\u2019s home production films, \u201cLaapataa Ladies\u201d and \u201cLaal Singh Chaddha\u201d, before making his actual debut.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent conversation with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Junaid Khan revealed that he was initially supposed to be a part of his father Aamir Khan-led \u201cLaal Singh Chaddha\u201d. He recalled testing for the role with Kiran Rao, who was set to play his mother. Khan shared that they filmed 7\u20138 scenes over four days, resulting in 20 minutes of footage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a test for me also. Papa wanted to see how Advait would deal with the material. So, it was kind of a deal for both of us. Ultimately, it didn\u2019t work out, largely due to budgetary reasons. It was a very expensive film to put a new person in,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting further on his stint in \u201cLaapataa Ladies\u201d, Junaid Khan revealed that he also tested for the film. However, Kiran Rao ultimately chose Sparsh Shrivastava, whom she felt was better suited for the part. Junaid expressed no qualms about the decision and agreed with her choice.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not being cast, Junaid emphasized that the decision didn\u2019t affect his relationship with Kiran. He said, \u201cOur equation is very good. She is a very fun and warm person, and we get along great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Advait Chandan directed the 2022-released film \u201dLaal Singh Chaddha\u201d, a remake of the 1994 American classic \u201cForrest Gump\u201d, which starred Tom Hanks. The film featured Kareena Kapoor, Mona Singh, Naga Chaitanya, and Manav Vij in key roles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLaapataa Ladies\u201d, released in 2023, starred Nitanshi Goel, Sparsh Shrivastava, Pratibha Ranta, and Ravi Kishan. The critically acclaimed film was also India\u2019s official entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the Oscars 2025.<\/p>\n<p>On the professional front, Junaid will next appear in the rom-com \u201cLoveyapa\u201d alongside Khushi Kapoor. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film is set to release on February 7, 2025.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/FotoJet-2024-12-29T222101.288-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Aamir Khan\u2019s recalls his reaction when Mika Singh taking his Limousine and Suite on World Tour with Aishwarya Rai\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Aamir Khan\u2019s recalls his reaction when Mika Singh taking his Limousine and Suite on World Tour with Aishwarya Rai<\/h5>\n<p>Singh was offered a tour in 1999, featuring Aishwarya Rai, Aamir Khan,&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/entertainment\/2024\/12\/aamir-khans-recalls-his-reaction-when-mika-singh-taking-his-limousine-and-suite-on-world-tour-with-aishwarya-rai\/\" class=\"post-link\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Aamir Khan\u2019s son Junaid wasn\u2019t appeared in \u2018Laal Singh Chaddha\u2019 and \u2018Laapataa Ladies\u2019?
