Aamir Khan wanted to retire? Junaid Khan reveals, ‘Dad was going through this…’

Aamir Khan’s last theatrical release was Laal Singh Chaddha. It was a Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood film Forrest Gump, which stars Tom Hanks in the titular role. Advait Chandan directed the Hindi film, which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Mona Singh, and Naga Chaitanya. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, LSC didn’t impress the audience much. Hence, it failed to get good numbers at the box office. Two years ago, Aamir’s son, Junaid Khan, made his movie debut with the Netflix film Maharaj.
