On a day dedicated to romance, Ekta Kapoor made headlines by announcing ‘Heer Raanjha’, her latest cinematic venture poised to stir emotions nationwide. The reveal came with an evocative first glimpse on Instagram, perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Sajid Ali, the director behind the much-loved ‘Laila Majnu’, returns to the chair for this ambitious follow-up. Ekta’s caption poetically linked enduring tales of love, from ‘Laila-Majnu’ to ‘Heer-Raanjha’, reminding us that true passion transcends time.
A collaborative effort from Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures, Preeti Ali’s P Films, and presented by Imtiaz Ali, the film carries high expectations. ‘Laila Majnu’, launched in 2018, blossomed into a sleeper hit, celebrated for its Kashmir locales, Imtiaz’s heartfelt writing, and Sajid’s nuanced direction.
Tripti Dimri and Avinash Tiwari embodied the tragic lovers with raw intensity, their songs and lines becoming social media staples. The story’s roots in legend – Majnu’s real name Kaise – added layers of authenticity. Fans have persistently called for more projects featuring this duo in pivotal roles.
This announcement revives that fervor, positioning ‘Heer Raanjha’ as a beacon for romance aficionados. In an era of formulaic films, Ekta’s choice to revisit folklore signals a return to storytelling depth. As details unfold, anticipation builds for what promises to be a visual and emotional feast.
