Aamir Khan lost ‘Laapataa Ladies’ role to Ravi Kishan—Watch the audition clip here!
According to director Kiran Rao, Aamir was initially 'very' interested in playing Shyam Manohar, a small-town cop with a distinct personality.
Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor recently made their theatrical debut with ‘Loveyapa.’ Upon its theatrical release, the film failed to impress at the box office. Mounted on a budget of 60 crores, the film managed to rack up only around 10 crores. In a recent conversation, Aamir Khan reflected on his son Junaid’s film tanking at the box office.
During his conversation with ABP, Aamir Khan talked about ‘Loveyapa’ failing at the box office. When the interviewer asked about it, he said, “Nahi chali woh film, unfortunately. Toh mujhe uska bhi bada dukh hai. Mujhe laga film acchi hai aur Junaid ne bhi accha kaam kiya hai lekin voh film nahi chali. (That film did not work. So, I’m very sad about it. I felt the film was good and even Junaid did good work but it didn’t work out).”

He added that as a father, he was ten times more stressed about Junaid’s film as compared to his own projects. The ‘Dangal’ actor revealed sitting by the window and reflecting on the anxiety he was feeling about his son’s debut. Aamir revealed, “Mai dur dekh raha hun par mera dil zor se dhadak raha hai. (I was far away, but my heart was pounding loudly). I thought it was the most important moment of my life. Baaki Junaid jo hai voh seekhega. (But Junaid will learn). This a field where you have to face success and failure. Junaid is someone who is young and intelligent. He has got a lot of energy and positivity. He’ll find his way.”
