He made his acting debut with Siddharth P Malhotra's Maharaj, which premiered on Netflix.The advance bookings for Ek Din had opened 39 days before its actual release. In an interview with Just Too Filmy, Aamir spoke about the strategy behind film's advance bookings. Khan said that the movie has relatively new actors so he thought this movie would need a little more time to get traction. "So the earlier we start, the better," he said.
