Aamir Khan Compares Junaid Khan To Himself, Says 'Voh Lambi Race Ka Ghoda Hai, Failures Don't Faze Him'

Aamir Khan, who is backing his son Junaid Khan’s upcoming film, has opened up about how his son is a “lambi race ka ghoda”. Junaid Khan made his acting debut with Maharaj, and his performance was largely appreciated in the film. He was then seen in Loveyapa, which proved to be a box office disaster. Now, he will be seen in Ek Din alongside Sai Pallavi.

In a recent chat with Radio City India, Aamir Khan spoke about how he doesn’t shield Junaid. He said, “Junaid aisa nahi hai, vo mujhe kabhi kuch karne nahi dega. He is a very independent guy, very strong-willed and doesn’t give up easily. Voh lambi race ka ghoda hai, jo mere baare mein bhi bola jaata tha jab main pehle pehle aaya tha. Failures don’t faze him, and he’s very honest with himself.”

Aamir also said, “He has also followed his character in Ek Din with full honesty. Although it’s not a very heroic character, he has never tried to step out of it. That shows his honesty towards his work.” Aamir said that Junaid fully becomes the character he is playing on screen.

Meanwhile, Aamir Khan Productions’ upcoming film, Ek Din, is gradually building strong anticipation among audiences. Touted as a tender and heartfelt love story, the film has already resonated with viewers, thanks to its captivating trailer and soulful music.

Ek Din reunites Aamir Khan with filmmaker Mansoor Khan after a significant hiatus, reviving one of Hindi cinema’s most cherished creative partnerships. Together, they have gifted audiences unforgettable films like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Akele Hum Akele Tum, and Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na.

With Ek Din, the duo returns to the romance genre, sparking fresh excitement among fans. Their coming together once again has heightened curiosity, with audiences keen to witness the charm they recreate on screen.

Produced under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Ek Din stars Sai Pallavi and Junaid Khan. The film is directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Aamir Khan, Mansoor Khan, and Aparna Purohit. The film is set to release in theatres on 1st May 2026.
