During the event, Aamir was full of praise for Sai Pallavi, calling her “the best actress we have in our country today.” Adding a touch of humour, he remarked, “Junaid ne bhi acha khasa kaam kiya hai,” drawing laughter from the audience. The 61-year-old also took to the stage to perform a song from the film.

Directed by Sunil Pandey, Ek Din is a romantic drama produced by Aamir Khan, Mansoor Khan, and Aparna Purohit under Aamir Khan Productions. The film’s trailer, unveiled recently, showcases Junaid and Sai in lead roles.

Notably, the project reunites Aamir and Mansoor Khan after their earlier collaborations on classics such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Ek Din is set to release in cinemas on May 1.
