Imtiaz Ali has given Bollywood some of the most romantic tales in the recent past. His take on modern times love and relationships make him the most loved filmmaker amongst youth. He accepts that having to make a modern-day adaptation of the legendary Laila Majnu brought him sheer happiness but what was incommodious was to get the title of the movie – Laila Majnu.

Says Imtiaz, 'I always knew that Laila Majnu is the only title that this film could go by. The star, the plot of the film is Laila Majnu. We have known the legendary lovers for years and years before any one of our names were known.' He also admits that it was almost a breakdown situation for him to get the title and it seemed impossible for him to crack through the situation until he found out that the title rights are with the owner of Tips, Mr. Ramesh Taurani.
