Laila Majnu has been written by Imtiaz Ali and Sajid Ali and directed by the latter. It's based on the popular legend of the romantic couple but has got certain modifications to it.
Imtiaz was recently present at the launch of Karan Johar's radio show, Calling Karan 2, where he talked about his understanding of love. He revealed that perhaps he doesn't understand the feeling of love in its perfect sense and therefore, he keeps making films about this emotion. He said, "Sometimes I wish I was as wise as many of characters in my films. May be I don't understand love at all and that is the reason why I make films about it".
Imtiaz's earlier work of cinema includes films like Jab We Met, Rockstar, Highway, Jab Harry Met Sejal and Tamashaa among others. It would be interesting to see what magic does Laila Majnu creates because as the makers say -- "the only love that counts is the mad, passionate one..."
