Actor Aamir Khan's son Junaid is a theatre artiste looking for his Bollywood break but Aamir said that Junaid will first have to pass a screen test to sign a film, reports news agency PTI. "We are looking for Junaid. I've seen his work and I'm quite happy with it. When we will get the right kind of story... I believe in screen tests so he has to pass the test. If he does a good test, he'll be in the film. If not, he won't be," Aamir Khan told a group of reports at a recent event in Mumbai. Junaid trained as a theatre actor in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles for two years. Junaid featured in several plays for over a year and he has also assisted his father in some of his projects.
Speaking of the kind of films he wants for Junaid, Aamir Khan said: "He has been in theatre for three years now. I would like to see him as a lead actor who plays characters, because I've always believed in that. You should always be playing characters and not hero. There's a difference. I've always felt happy that whenever my films come out, people call me by my characters name. That tells me my work has really hit home," Aamir Khan said.
