Ek Din trailer: Junaid Khan, Sai Pallavi and amnesia make for a tragic love triangle

WATCH | Ek Din trailer

For a trailer, Ek Din has shared more than its viewers could have asked for as the basic plot of the film is already clear here. The film is inspired by a Thai film called One Day, which was also extensively shot in Japan. Junaid’s character is quite reminiscent of the ‘one-sided lover’ trope often seen in Hindi movies, and he even describes himself as a ‘haara hua aashiq (lover who has lost)’ when he hasn’t even spoken to the woman he supposedly loves.

Junaid Khan’s father Aamir has previously played a patient of anterograde amnesia in 2008’s Ghajini.

In an earlier interview, Mansoor Khan shared with Variety India that Aamir rewrote the ending of the film. “Aamir had reservations about the climax scene. He rewrote it. We agreed he was right,” he told Variety India. Mansoor, who has directed films like Josh and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, is a co-producer on the film.

This will be Junaid’s third film, and his second theatrical release. He made his debut with Netflix release Maharaj, which drew mixed reactions. His theatrical debut Loveyapa, also starring Khushi Kapoor, flopped at the box office. After Ek Din, he is also looking forward to the third part of the Ragini MMS franchise, starring Tamannaah Bhatia. For Sai Pallavi, this is her Bollywood debut. She has worked in films like Gargi, Shyam Singha Roy, Premam, Amaran across the South Indian film industries. Later this year, she will be seen with Ranbir Kapoor in Ramayana.
