Meanwhile, film's producers Imtiaz Ali and Ekta Kapoor have been actively promoting the film on social media. The Jab We Met director even shared a special video in which he mentioned how the film sheds light on the "connection between love and madness" and said: "We always hear - so and so went crazy in love, she is madly in love with him, vo pyaar mein pagal ho gaya. I have often wondered - what is the connection between love and madness? Real, crazy love - How does it feel? Laila and Majnu personify this feeling. This film is my attempt to feel it too and to bring that feeling to all of you who have a heart that feels."
Laila Majnu, which was earlier slated to release on August 24, will now hit the screens on September 7.
