Sources say filmmakers at loggerheads over promotional strategy of their next, Laila Majnu
Imtiaz Ali and Ekta Kapoor
Considering both are seasoned players in showbiz, Kapoor and Imtiaz are well-aware that some of the best outputs emerge from creative conflicts. However, with the release date of August 24 looming large on them, the two aren't seeing eye-to-eye on the post production. "Since it's a modern-day retelling of Laila and Majnu, Imtiaz feels the love saga should grow on people instead of being promoted heavily. But, Ekta is keen on going all out with the publicity, especially since the movie has newcomers in the lead."
However, the source points out that Kapoor is satisfied with Sajid's work. "In the past, she had asked Milan Luthria to reshoot the climax of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (2010), among others. But this time, she is happy with the way Laila Majnu has shaped up." The film's spokesperson confirmed the news.
