When
it
comes
to
new-age
romance,
no
one
does
it
better
than
Imtiaz
Ali!
Well,
get
ready
for
yet
another
intense
story.
This
time,
it's
Imtiaz's
brother
Sajid
calling
the
shots.
The
trailer
of
Ekta
Kapoor
and
Imtiaz
Ali's
upcoming
film
'Laila
Majnu'
is
out
and
it's
a
modern-day
retelling
of
the
classic
love
tale.
Set
in
the
picturesque
location
of
Kashmir,
Laila
Majnu
stars
Avinash
Tiwary
and
Tripti
Dimri.
In
the
trailer,
the
hero
Kais
is
introduced
as
a
'rich
spoilt
brat'
who
loves
women
and
drinking.
On
the
other
hand,
Laila
is
a
big
flirt.
The
duo
gradually
fall
head
over
heels
in
love
with
each
other.
However,
things
take
an
unfortunate
turn
for
the
star-crossed
lovers
when
they
get
separated
due
to
unavoidable
circumstances.
Speaking
about
the
film,
Imtiaz
Ali
had
earlier
revealed
that
one
of
the
difficult
things
was
deciding
its
title.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
always
knew
that
Laila
Majnu
is
the
only
title
that
this
film
could
go
by.
The
star,
the
plot
of
the
film
is
Laila
Majnu.
We
have
known
the
legendary
lovers
for
years
and
years
before
any
one
of
our
names
were
known."
He
was
quoted
by
TOI
as
saying,
"Laila
Majnu'
is
a
contemporary
story
relevant
and
that's
what
makes
it
a
classic.
It's
an
eternal
story.
Such
stories
are
more
relevant,
as
in
today's
society,
people
are
becoming
lonelier.
Everyone
is
on
a
constant
search
for
a
soul
mate
and
the
need
for
companionship
is
far
more
than
ever
before.
People
are
isolated
and
hence,
on
social
media
you
often
go
nuts.
So,
in
such
times,
to
understand
the
value
of
connecting
with
someone
who
is
almost
supernatural,
can
be
more
imposing.
It's
not
a
safe
film,
it's
passionate
and
real
and
sometimes,
the
real
deal
is
not
glamorous."
Laila
Majnu
is
slated
to
release
on
7th
September.
