Aamir Khan Productions, the banner renowned for cinematic gems like Lagaan and Dangal, has released the highly anticipated first look of its upcoming romantic drama, ‘Ek Din’. Starring Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan, the film is generating significant buzz as it marks the official Bollywood debut of the South Indian powerhouse Sai Pallavi and the second outing for Junaid Khan.
The first-look poster captures a serene, wintry moment with Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan walking down a quiet, snow-clad street. Dressed in cozy winter wear and sharing an ice cream, the duo radiates a natural, understated chemistry that promises a departure from high-octane spectacle. With the evocative tagline “One Love… One Chance,” the film positions itself as an intimate and heartfelt love story rooted in simplicity.
Directed by Sunil Pandey, who previously assisted on Rang De Basanti and Laal Singh Chaddha, Ek Din is an Indian remake of the 2016 Thai romantic hit One Day. The screenplay has been adapted for Indian audiences by Sneha Desai (of Laapataa Ladies fame) and Spandan Mishra.
