Furthermore, when asked about his son Junaid's performance, Khan joked, "Junaid ne bhi thik thak kiya hai. Woh mera beta hai toh kuch bol nahi sakta (Even Junaid did a good job, but he is my son, so I can't say much). In fact, all the cast members have done a great job, and I am very happy for them."
Aamir Khan Explains Why Advance Bookings For Ek Din Opened Almost 39 Days Before Release
Talking to Just Too Filmy, Aamir, who is producing Ek Din, explained the strategy and said, "The fact is that Ek Din is a very small film, in the sense that it has got actors who are very new. Junaid has barely started his career, and Sai (Pallavi) is doing her first film in Hindi. So I thought this film would need a little more time to get traction. So the earlier we start, the better. It is a story that I believe, and I am quite a mushy audience."
