'Made that Mistake with Ek Din' Junaid Khan Doesn't Want to Work with Aamir Khan Again

Despite how much Aamir Khan tried, he couldn't make Ek Din a theatrical blockbuster. Starring his son Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, the film was already under a lot of heat even before it was released.

As such, people showed little interest in the story because it looked a lot like something they had seen before.

The younger Khan also learned from his mistakes and has now addressed the failure of his latest movie.

Junaid Khan on Ek Din's Failure

Junaid Khan got on Vickey Lalwani's YouTube channel, where he spoke about Ek Din's failure and how his father, Aamir Khan, has been taking it. The actor doesn't have any remorse, though.

"We were hopeful. But I guess… It didn't do well. It happens sometimes. It's a film that I really liked, I really enjoyed. I think we all really liked and enjoyed it, and I guess… a lot of people did really like it, but I guess most people didn't like it. That happens sometimes."

He enjoyed making the film, and while both he and his father had been hopeful, sometimes things don't work out, and he's okay with that.

Junaid Khan won't Work with Aamir Khan Again

In the same interview, Junaid Khan was asked if he would work with Aamir Khan again as a producer. His answer had been clear, "No, because I made that mistake with Ek Din."

"I thought, 'Okay, shall I have a second opinion from dad? I really like it, but maybe I should get a second opinion from him.' So I set up a narration. And so when the narration happened, dad really loved it. And he was like, 'Siddharth, let me produce it.' Suddenly he was like, 'I want to make it. I really love it, sell it to me. I'm finally getting a chance to make a film for my son, everyone is making a film for him.' It was a rather emotional decision."

He continued, "I think he's a fantastic producer, especially for a film like Ek Din. But what ends up happening is, then it takes five years to make. AKP (Aamir Khan Productions) is big production banner, it takes time. So then I realised, if I take it to dad and he loves it, then he'll be like, 'I'll produce it,' and then I'll have a film coming out once in five years. Which is great for him. He's at a stage in his career where he can do one film in five years, I'm exaggerating a bit, I guess, but yeah, he can do one film in three years, four years, five years, and it's fine. But I'm just starting out. I need to have a steady stream of work. And dad's now dying to make another film with me, but I'm like, 'in a bit.'"

He admitted that his father gets too attached to projects and when it comes to his own son, it's a whole different scenario altogether. With a production company as big as Aamir Khan's, the process is also slower, and while Junaid enjoyed making a film with him, he won't do it again.
