Ek Din Teaser Out Faces Backlash For 'Lack Of Originality', Sai Pallavi-Junaid Khan Starrer Trolled For Being 'Exact Copy' Of Thai Film One Day

Ek Din Teaser Out: One of the year’s most anticipated films, Ek Din, starring Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan, will hit theatres on May 1, 2026. This film marks Sai Pallavi’s Bollywood debut. The makers revealed the first teaser for the romance movie on Friday morning. Many fans shared gushing reactions, while a few expressed disappointment.

Aamir Khan Productions shared the 1-minute and 8-second teaser on social media with the caption, “Some stories don’t need time. Watch EK DIN only in theatres, 1st May 2026. @saipallavi.senthamarai #JunaidKhan.”

Set against snow-covered mountains and quiet winter streets, the duo wear warm coats as the teaser overflows with love and tenderness. Their natural innocence brings back a kind of on-screen purity that audiences have long missed.

However, as soon as the teaser dropped, fans poured into the comments section. Many shared their doubts, claiming it looks like a remake and “lacks originality.” One wrote, “Baap bete dono movies copy karte hai, itna paisa lagate ho movie me tho story bhi kuch khud se bana liya karo.” Another commented, “#EkDin is an official remake of thai film "One Day" (2016).” One user said, “This better not be a remake of One Day starring Jim Sturgess and Anne Hathaway.” Another added, “this lack originality, infact looks exact copy of Thai One Day.”

Those who enjoyed the teaser expressed their excitement, too. One wrote, “Sai Pallavi's Bollywood Debut! Sweet & Charmness!!” Another noted, “Junaid is looking like an actor from Superman. Full hollywood actor vibe he is having..must say.”

While it is unsure that Ek Din is a remake of the Thai hit One Day or not, netizens are flooding social media with speculations. This movie is produced by Aamir Khan, Mansoor Khan, and Aparna Purohit under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions.
