Sai Pallavi’s Film Details at a Glance

First-Look Poster Creates Magic

The first-look poster unveiled by Aamir Khan Productions captures a dreamy winter romance. Set against a snowy backdrop, Junaid and Sai share ice cream while snowflakes fall gently around them. Both actors sport winter outfits suggesting college-going characters, with Sai wearing a striped winter jacket, purple knitted cap, and gloves, while Junaid complements the frame with cool specs and a warm smile.

The poster’s tagline “In the chaos of life, love will find you… Ek Din” perfectly encapsulates the film’s essence. The teaser, released on January 16, 2026, has been certified by the CBFC and attached to prints of Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos.

Title Change and Production Journey

Originally titled Ek Din, the film was briefly renamed Mere Raho before producers decided to revert to the original name. This romantic drama reunites Aamir Khan and Mansoor Khan as producers after 18 years, their last collaboration being the 2008 hit Jaane Tu…Ya Jaane Na.

The film was primarily shot during the spectacular Snow Festival in Sapporo, Japan, in early 2024. Leaked images from the Japan schedule went viral, generating positive buzz among fans eager to see the chemistry between Junaid and Sai unfold on screen.

Box Office Clash Ahead

Ek Din will face significant competition on May 1, clashing with Riteish Deshmukh’s ambitious period drama Raja Shivaji. The latter features an ensemble cast including Genelia Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, and Fardeen Khan. Additionally, The Devil Wears Prada 2, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, will also release the same day, promising diverse cinematic choices.

What to Expect

As a remake of the 2016 Thai romance drama One Day, the film tells the story of a young man who falls in love with his colleague but lacks the courage to express his feelings. With Ram Sampath’s music and Irshad Kamil’s lyrics, the soundtrack promises to enhance the emotional depth of this love story.

For Junaid Khan, this marks his third feature film after Netflix’s Maharaj (2024) and the recent Loveyapa (2025) with Khushi Kapoor. Meanwhile, Sai Pallavi continues her remarkable journey from dominating Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam cinema to conquering Bollywood. She’ll next appear in Nitesh Tiwari’s epic Ramayana alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Yash.
