Aamir Khan has spoken highly of his son Junaid Khan ahead of the release of Ek Din, describing him as someone who remains unaffected by failures and is committed to his craft. In a recent interaction, the actor said Junaid is strong-willed, independent, and determined to make his own path in the film industry without relying on external support.
Aamir compared Junaid’s journey to his own early days in cinema, calling him a “long-distance runner” who is here for the long haul. He emphasized that setbacks do not discourage his son, highlighting his honesty towards his work and his ability to stay true to the characters he portrays. This comes at a time when Junaid is preparing for Ek Din after his earlier films received mixed responses at the box office.
Produced under Aamir Khan Productions, Ek Din is co-produced by Mansoor Khan and Aparna Purohit. The film marks a reunion between Aamir and Mansoor Khan after several iconic collaborations. Directed by Sunil Pandey, the film features Junaid alongside Sai Pallavi.
The story revolves around a shy and introverted man who struggles to express his feelings to his colleague. As the narrative progresses, it takes a dramatic turn involving an accident and memory loss, adding emotional depth to the storyline. With its theatrical release set for May 1, Ek Din is being seen as an important film in shaping Junaid Khan’s career trajectory.
