Aamir Nervous As Junaid’s ‘Ek Din’ Nears Release

Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan will be next seen in Ek Din, releasing on May 1.

The love story is the Indian adaptation of One Day, a 2016 Thai romantic drama directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun and starring Chantavit Dhanasevi and Nittha Jirayungyurn.

Admitting that he is more nervous than his son, Aamir says, “I don’t recall being so anxious for any of my films. Ek Din is important for Junaid. He seems quite relaxed, whereas I am a nervous wreck.”

However, Aamir is confident about the film’s prospects. “It has shaped up really well, if I may say so myself. Arijit Singh has sung some truly special songs for Junaid. And his co-star is Sai Pallavi, whom everybody wants to work with.”

What makes the film especially exciting for Aamir Khan is the collaboration with his cousin Mansoor Ali Khan. “Mansoor and I have worked together in the past on Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar and Akele Hum Akele Tum. Now he has contributed considerably to Junaid’s film, so there is a sense of continuity here. I like that.”
