Imtiaz Ali announces 'Laila Majnu' re-release in theatres: Back on popular demand

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali announced the theatrical re-release of Triptii Dimri's Bollywood debut 'Laila Majnu'. Also starring Avinash Tiwary in the lead, the romance drama will release on Friday, August 9 in India. "Back on popular demand", wrote Ali on Instagram. Over the years, the popularity of the film and the characters have grown which is probably why it was recently announced that the film is being re-released. On July 28, the news broke that it would re-release in Kashmir on Aug 2 and on Aug 7, the makers announced that it would release nationwide on Aug 9. Excited to see Laila Majnu re-release in theatres, actor Triptii Dimri, who is thrilled about the housefull boards in Kashmir, says, "When the film released you expect a reaction similar to what we are seeing now. All of us who had worked on the film knew how and what it was. Sadly, back then people didn't watch it. We got so much love from people when it dropped on OTT."
