More about Ek Din

In an interview with Hollywood Reporter India, Aamir opened up about choosing a Thai film remake for Junaid. He said, "Actually, it has nothing to do with Junaid. You must understand that Ghajini was also a remake. So, I have nothing against remakes."He also shared that his last film, Sitaare Zameen Par was a remake of a Spanish film. Aamir personally feels that when you come across a material that really excites you, touches you, moves you, it's been made in another part of the world in another language. He also menitoned that he has never had problems doing remakes for the last 38 years, and will not have any problems doing remakes going ahead as well. Catch Ek Din at a theatre near you!
