Still moping: Junaid Khan reveals father Aamir Khan's reaction to Ek Din failure
Actor Junaid Khan said his recent release, Ek Din did not connect with most viewers despite the team's hopes. He added that his father, Aamir Khan, is still upset and takes such failures personally.
Actor Junaid Khan has spoken about the box office failure of Ek Din, saying the film did not connect with a majority of viewers despite the team’s hopes for it. In a recent interview, he also said his father, actor-producer Aamir Khan, is still upset about the film’s fate.
Junaid, who returned to theatres with Ek Din after the underwhelming performance of Loveyapa, reflected on the response during a conversation on Vickey Lalwani’s YouTube channel. He said that while many people did like the film, its commercial performance fell short of expectations.
What Junaid Khan said
Speaking about the film’s performance, Junaid said, “The film has not done well. We were hopeful, but I guess it did not do well. It happens sometimes. It is a film that I really liked and enjoyed."
He said he remained calm while looking back at the film’s run and suggested that, although some viewers appreciated it, the film did not find wider acceptance among audiences.
Aamir Khan’s reaction
When asked how Aamir Khan reacted to the film’s box office run, Junaid said that he is still “moping.” He added that his father takes failures personally, especially when he likes a film. “Even after all these years, after seeing it all, it still really bothers him. But he keeps himself busy, goes back out there, and does it all over again,” Junaid said.
About the film
Directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Mansoor Khan, Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit under Aamir Khan Productions, Ek Din hit cinemas on May 1. The romantic drama marked Sai Pallavi’s Bollywood debut and Junaid Khan’s second theatrical release. It is an adaptation of the 2016 Thai film One Day.
The film received mixed-to-negative reactions from both critics and audiences.
On the work front, Junaid Khan is reportedly set to appear next in Ragini MMS 3, backed by Ektaa Kapoor. Reports suggest he will star opposite Tamannaah Bhatia in the third instalment of the horror-thriller franchise. The film is yet to begin production.
