He said, “I feel this is franchisable idea. I have made two films with the same title because after ten years, the basis on which I made the earlier film has changed. I am getting the opportunity to say it in a newer way.”

Expressing that he is looking forward to making this film a franchise, the director said, “If we think we can maybe take it ahead in the future after a few years, if the process of the relationship (has evolved) and if there is something new to tell, a new story, then we will try to say it. The relationship that now happens is different from what it used to be. So Love Aaj Kal comes. Things are fast-moving. But the reason why a boy and girl come together hasn’t changed.”

He further talked about how good storytelling is his highest priority. “I come from a place where my tastes are common. What you call commercial, I don’t have to work towards it, it is there within me. I am here to tell a good story,” Imtiaz added.

Love Aaj Kal also stars Randeep Hooda in a pivotal role. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on February 14.
