Imtiaz Ali says He Never Considered Having A Different Title For Laila Majnu

Imtiaz said he always knew that ‘Laila Majnu’ is the only title that this film could go by. He also admits that it was almost a breakdown situation for him to get the title and it seemed impossible for him to crack through the situation until he found out that the title rights are with the owner of Tips, Mr. Ramesh Taurani.

Imtiaz Ali has given us some amazing romantic movies in Bollywood and his take on modern times love and relationships make him the most loved filmmaker amongst youth. He accepts that having to make a modern-day adaptation of the legendary ‘Laila Majnu’ brought him sheer happiness but what was incommodious was to get the title of the movie – ‘Laila Majnu’.

Imtiaz said he always knew that ‘Laila Majnu’ is the only title that this film could go by. He also admits that it was almost a breakdown situation for him to get the title and it seemed impossible for him to crack through the situation until he found out that the title rights are with the owner of Tips, Mr. Ramesh Taurani.

The director further added that he never considered having a different title for ‘Laila Majnu’ because the film is actually a very faithful rendition of the famous Laila Majnu just in the modern time and place in Kashmir. The setting is so, because Kashmir gives the exotic backdrop to the film.

The film is slated to release on 24th August. ‘Laila Majnu’ is presented by Imtiaz Ali, directed by Sajid Ali and Produced by Balaji Motion pictures and Preety Ali’s Pi films.
