Aamir and Junaid were wearing Mumbai Indians jerseys and were very visible at the game against Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 26, blending their love of the sport with promotion for Junaid’s Ek Din. They showed up to support Mumbai Indians at a point in the season where the team hadn’t had much to celebrate.
Aamir Khan and Junaid cheer Mumbai Indians
From their seats, father and son watched Hardik Pandya win the coin toss and decide to bat first. At the beginning, everyone felt good about the game, and they both enjoyed Ryan Rickelton’s incredibly fast, record-breaking 100 runs as Mumbai Indians did well.
There were other celebrities at the game too. Ritika Sajdeh was seen in the crowd. Hardik Pandya’s girlfriend Mahieka Sharma also stood out in a blue outfit, making it a glamorous night at Wankhede.
From early MI highs to SRH win
Mumbai Indians, who had lost five out of seven games so far, got a much needed lift from the early good play. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad took over during their turn to bat.
Key match turns at Wankhede included:
– Hardik Pandya won the toss and batted
– Ryan Rickelton hammered a record-breaking century
– Travis Head blasted 76 to steady SRH
– Heinrich Klaasen finished with an unbeaten 65
– Sunrisers Hyderabad won by six wickets
What started as a happy night for Mumbai Indians fans ended in a loss. This came after a 103 run defeat against Chennai Super Kings, and shows how much pressure the five-time champions are under.
Ek Din promotions ride the IPL buzz
Alongside the cricket, Junaid Khan drew attention to Ek Din, where he stars with Sai Pallavi. The movie is being made by Aamir Khan Productions and has gotten people interested because of its warm colored trailer and lovely music.
Junaid, who was first in Maharaj and then Loveyapa, seemed comfortable talking about the movie while enjoying the game. Wankhede stadium was a huge way to get the word out about a film that is meant to be very emotional.

Why this crossover moment matters
Being at the cricket ground also served as a good, timed introduction for Ek Din, using the huge number of people watching the IPL. Because the Mumbai Indians had a very up and down night, and feelings were running high, the gentle story of the film fit in nicely.
What fans realized was simple: Aamir and Junaid added emotion to a competitive evening, and it’s clear that the excitement from the stadium is moving to excitement for the film. Now, Ek Din seems ready to aim for success itself.
