Mumbai, India – Bollywood veteran Aamir Khan wiped away tears at a promotional event for his son Junaid Khan's upcoming romantic drama Ek Din, signaling strong family support ahead of the film's May 1 theatrical release.

The event, titled Ek Din Ki Mehfil, took place in Mumbai on Sunday and featured musical performances and previews of the film, which marks the Bollywood debut of South Indian actress Sai Pallavi opposite Junaid. Directed by Sunil Pandey, an associate of Aamir known for his work on projects like Delhi Belly and Laal Singh Chaddha, Ek Din is produced by Aamir Khan Productions in collaboration with Mansoor Khan and Aparna Purohit.
