The announcement of Heer Ranjha marks the much-awaited reunion of filmmaker Imtiaz Ali and producer Ektaa Kapoor following the enduring success of Laila Majnu. The new project serves as the second chapter in the beloved romantic universe introduced by the earlier film, continuing its legacy of poetic storytelling and emotional depth.
While Laila Majnu grew into a cult classic over time, its impact has remained strong among audiences who resonated with its intense portrayal of love. Now, Heer Ranjha aims to build on that emotional connection by presenting a timeless romance through a contemporary lens.
Rooted in the legendary folklore of Heer and Ranjha, the film promises to reinterpret the classic tale in a way that speaks to modern sensibilities without losing its emotional authenticity.
Presented by Imtiaz Ali and directed by Sajid Ali, the film is expected to offer a cinematic experience that blends tradition with contemporary storytelling. The narrative will explore love in a way that reflects both its eternal nature and its evolving expression in today’s world.
The title reveal itself has already generated excitement among fans of Laila Majnu, who are eager to see how this new chapter expands the franchise’s emotional universe.
The film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa Kapoor, and Preety Ali under Pi Films Pvt Ltd.
Speaking about the project, Ektaa Kapoor emphasized the unique storytelling strength of Imtiaz and Sajid Ali, noting their ability to portray love with honesty and depth. She shared that while Laila Majnu found its audience gradually, Heer Ranjha aspires to transcend time and connect with viewers across generations — including the global Indian diaspora.
Imtiaz Ali described Heer Ranjha as a story with its own rhythm and emotional language — one that reflects the spirit of contemporary love while staying rooted in something eternal. His collaboration with Ektaa Kapoor, he added, feels like a natural continuation of a shared creative vision.
With filming set to begin soon, Heer Ranjha represents both a continuation and a fresh beginning for one of modern Hindi cinema’s most emotionally resonant romantic universes.
Announced around Valentine’s Day, the project arrives as a symbolic celebration of timeless love — one that promises to capture hearts once again.
Fans can expect more updates as this new chapter of romance unfolds on the big screen.
