New Delhi, CNI: Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has said that “Laila Majnu”, starring Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri, will re-release nationwide on Friday, days after the 2018 film hit the screens in Srinagar.
As per news agency Current News of India (CNI) The romance drama is written and presented by Imtiaz and directed by his brother Sajid Ali. It is produced by Ali’s former wife Preety and Ekta Kapoor. “Laila Majnu”, a modern-day adaptation of the classic folklore, received a lukewarm response at the box office but over the years it garnered a cult status.
