Ek Din release date and poster: Sai Pallavi is officially stepping into Bollywood, and her Hindi debut comes with a quiet, wintry charm. The actor will

\n\n

make her first appearance in Hindi cinema with Ek Din, opposite Junaid Khan. The romantic drama is set to release on May 1, 2026, coinciding with Labour Day.

The announcement was made by Aamir Khan’s production house, which also unveiled the film’s first look. Scroll down to take a look!

Ek Din poster and release date out

For a long time, many believed that Sai Pallavi’s Hindi debut would happen with Ramayana. However, the actor has surprised fans by choosing a softer, contemporary love story for her Bollywood entry. With Ek Din, she opens a new chapter after winning widespread acclaim across Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu cinema.

\n\n

The first-look poster, shared on Instagram, offers a gentle snapshot into the film’s mood. Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan are seen walking together amid heavy snowfall, enjoying ice cream on a quiet street. The moment feels intimate and unguarded. The caption read, “In the chaos of life, love will find you… Ek Din.” The poster also carries the tagline, “One love, one chance,” hinting at a story rooted in emotional simplicity rather than spectacle.

Take a look!
