About ‘Ek Din’

Directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Mansoor Khan, Aamir Khan, and Aparna Purohit under Aamir Khan Productions, ‘Ek Din’ is shaping up to be an emotional romantic drama.

The trailer, released on Thursday, gives a glimpse into a soft love story filled with hope and a hint of magic.

Junaid plays a shy, awkward young man who quietly falls for Sai Pallavi’s character; a cheerful, full-of-life girl working in the same office. While she moves through life with ease, he struggles just to start a conversation.

But the story doesn’t stay simple.

A major twist takes the characters to Japan, where Sai’s character meets with an accident and develops Transient Global Amnesia (TGA). In a surprising turn, she forgets everything, except Junaid, the man who saved her life.

The film marks Junaid Khan’s second big screen outing after ‘Loveyapa’, while it also introduces Sai Pallavi to Bollywood audiences for the first time.

‘Ek Din’ is set to hit theatres on May 1, 2026.
