Junaid Khan bombed because he didn't put in the effort.

Junaid Khan is tall. He's good looking. He can act. We all saw that in Maharaj.

But with Loveyapa he failed. Why? Yes, the script was shitty. Yes, the pairing was off. But I feel one of the major reasons he in particular wasn't appreciated was, because he didn't put in the efforts.

Not fat shaming, but if you want to be a HERO in Bollywood, you've to look like it. His face in the movie looked all puffed up, not the chiseled look we had seen in Maharaja. He needs to lose fat, gain some muscle. His hairstyle in the movie was a message. Didn't spend enough time learning the dance steps. I mean, just look at them. Get some PR training. Not giggle endlessly after every answer. And for godsakes, leave the bag at home.

The everyman's star is a good way to connect with the masses, but you've gotta become a star fir.

He's not beyond redemption like VP. He needs to get his act together, and go through the hoops that Bollywood demands. Get that face, get that body. You can act, work on them acting chops more. And maybe his next work will start to get appreciated.
