Acclaimed actress Sai Pallavi is known for selecting performance-driven roles, prioritizing substance over star value. A clear example of her commitment was her decision to turn down a role opposite megastar Chiranjeevi in Bhola Shankar, underscoring the importance she places on strong characters and meaningful narratives. Despite a few commercial setbacks, she has never faced criticism for her performances, earning respect across industries.
Now, all eyes are on her Bollywood journey. Sai Pallavi is gearing up for a high-profile Hindi release based on the epic Ramayana, where she will portray Sita opposite Ranbir Kapoor’s Lord Ram. Ahead of this, however, she is reportedly starring in another film, tentatively titled Ek Din. This project will feature Aamir Khan’s son, Zunaid Khan, in the lead.
Zunaid, who debuted on Netflix with Maharaja and later starred in Loveyapa—a remake of the Tamil hit Love Today—has yet to make a mark. Both films performed poorly, drawing criticism for his lackluster performances.
Given this backdrop, the responsibility of attracting audiences now falls on Sai Pallavi. While she hasn’t officially debuted in Hindi cinema, her popularity from South Indian films has given her pan-Indian recognition. Her presence alone lends credibility to Ek Din, suggesting that the story and her character carry real weight.
Despite Zunaid’s film lineage, it is clear that Ek Din will rely heavily on Sai Pallavi’s acting prowess and star power to succeed at the box office.
