Aamir Khan Tears Up at Ek Din Showcase as May 1 Release Nears

The emotional push signals a bet on word-of-mouth for a small, performance-led romance.

Overview

  • Following Sunday's musical event in Mumbai, viral clips showed Aamir Khan wiping away tears during an Ek Din performance and later taking the mic to sing the title track.
  • On stage, Khan called Sai Pallavi “the best actress we have in our country today,” while Pallavi, making her Hindi-film debut, told the crowd she felt excited and nervous about the role.
  • Advance bookings are open after an unusually early start 39 days before release, which Khan said was meant to give a modestly scaled film with new lead faces more time to find viewers.
  • The romantic drama stars Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, is directed by first-time filmmaker Sunil Pandey, and is produced by Aamir Khan, Mansoor Khan, and Aparna Purohit under Aamir Khan Productions for a May 1 theatrical launch.
  • Adapted from the 2016 Thai film One Day, the story reworks a workplace romance and includes a Japan-set turn, as the project also reunites Aamir and Mansoor Khan after past collaborations on Hindi cinema favorites.
