What if real couples broke up like Jai and Meera from Love Aaj Kal or if women gave it back like Geet from Jab We Met and men romanced like Jordan from Rockstar? Wonder what that would be like? Watch this video starring the cast of Laila Majnu, Avinash Tiwari and Tripti Dimri to find out.
Laila Majnu is a modern day retelling of the classic love story, previously depicted by HS Rawail back in 1976, starring Rishi Kapoor and Ranjeeta. Directed by Imtiaz Ali’s younger brother Sajid Ali, the film is co-written by the Ali brothers as well.
There are only those things that happen when somebody truly feels that feeling. I knew that to make this film, I would need some mad people because normal people will not make this film. It’s a really unsafe film which deals with lot of problems. We did not have all those selling points, but it was a story from the heart.Imtiaz Ali on making Laila Majnu
Presented by Imtiaz Ali and produced by Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures and PI Films, Laila Majnu is scheduled to release on 7 September, 2018.
