Sai Pallavi is ready to step into Bollywood with her much-anticipated Hindi debut film Ek Din, where she stars opposite Junaid Khan. The romantic drama, backed by Aamir Khan Productions, has officially been locked for a theatrical release on May 1, 2026. Adding to the excitement, the makers have announced that the film’s teaser will be unveiled on January 16, giving audiences their first glimpse into the world of Ek Din.
All about the announcement
The announcement was shared by Aamir Khan Productions along with the film’s first poster, which immediately caught attention for its warm and intimate vibe. The poster features Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan dressed in winter clothing, sharing ice cream as snow falls around them. The visual hints at a tender love story, possibly revolving around young lovers navigating emotions, connection and companionship.
Ek Din is directed by Sunil Pandey and written by Sneha Desai and Spandan Mishra. The film is particularly special as it marks the reunion of Aamir Khan and Mansoor Khan as producers after nearly 18 years. The duo last collaborated on the cult romantic film Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na in 2008, making Ek Din a highly anticipated project for fans of heartfelt storytelling.
For Junaid Khan, the film adds another romantic outing to his growing filmography after Maharaj and Loveyapa, both of which helped establish him as a promising new-age actor. Sai Pallavi, meanwhile, brings with her a massive fan following thanks to her acclaimed performances in South Indian cinema, where she is celebrated for her natural screen presence and powerful acting.
Sai Pallavi`s upcoming Hindi projects
Apart from Ek Din, Sai Pallavi is also gearing up for a major Bollywood project, Nitesh Tiwari’s ambitious Ramayana, where she will be seen alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Yash. Her Hindi debut with Ek Din is therefore being closely watched, as audiences are eager to see how she translates her celebrated acting style to Hindi cinema.
With a romantic premise, fresh pairing and the backing of a legendary production house, Ek Din is shaping up to be one of the most awaited love stories of 2026. The teaser release on January 16 is expected to further heighten anticipation ahead of its May theatrical release.
