Heer Ranjha
The announcement marks the much anticipated collaboration between two formidable creative forces in Indian cinema, Imtiaz Ali and Ekta Kapoor, who reunite after the cult success of Laila Majnu. Their new project, Heer Ranjha, serves as the second chapter in the beloved Laila Majnu franchise, carrying forward its timeless love legend and the deep emotional resonance it built with audiences over the years.
Rooted in classic romance yet shaped for contemporary viewers, Heer Ranjha promises to reinterpret an iconic love story for a new generation. The makers aim to blend poetic storytelling with emotional intensity, crafting a cinematic experience that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. The title reveal alone has already generated considerable buzz among fans who continue to cherish Laila Majnu as a cult favourite.
Filming for Heer Ranjha is set to commence soon, with the project to be directed by Sajid Ali. Known for his sensitive storytelling, Sajid is expected to bring a distinctive visual and emotional texture to the film while maintaining the thematic depth that defined its predecessor.
Speaking about the announcement, Ekta Kapoor said, “Imtiaz and Sajid have the rare ability to capture love with honesty and depth. While Laila Majnu found its audience over time and became a cult classic, Heer Ranjha is a love story that aims to transcend time and emotions. We hope to touch audiences across the Indian diaspora and beyond with our storytelling.”
Imtiaz Ali echoed similar sentiments, sharing, “Heer Ranjha has its own world and rhythm. It speaks the love language of this generation while staying rooted in something eternal. Collaborating with Ektaa again feels like a natural continuation of a shared emotional language.”
Presented by Imtiaz Ali, directed by Sajid Ali and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor and Preety Ali under Pi Films Pvt Ltd, Heer Ranjha expands an iconic romantic universe. The Valentine’s Day announcement has made the moment even more special for fans of sweeping and timeless love stories.
