Aamir Khan actively involved in son Junaid's 'Love Today' remake
Junaid Khan, son of renowned Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, is gearing up for his debut in the Indian film industry. The young actor has several projects in development and will be seen in the remake of the Tamil film Love Today, alongside co-star Khushi Kapoor. The project is being helmed by Advait Chandan, known for directing Secret Superstar and Laal Singh Chaddha. Recent reports indicate that Aamir is playing an active role in the pre-production phase of this film.
Filming was delayed due to extensive pre-production work
Originally scheduled to start filming in April, the Love Today remake experienced delays due to extended pre-production work, a Mid-Day report stated. Director Chandan has been meticulously finalizing locations for the film over the past month. Aamir, while busy with his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, has been ensuring perfection in every aspect of this project, given its significance for his son's career. The 59-year-old actor is managing both projects seamlessly.
