Imtiaz Ali reveals why he is okay with Saif Ali Khan liking 2009 'Love Aaj Kal' trailer better

Imtiaz Ali who is gearing up for the release of his film Love Aaj Kal says that Saif Ali Khan's confessions that he liked the trailer of the original film better starring himself and Deepika Padukone do not surprise him at all. While Sara has been asked to comment on what she thinks about the same, in a recent interview, Imtiaz opened up about his feeling about Saif's remarks and said that he would have been upset if Saif had said otherwise. 

"Of course, he would. Saif was emotionally invested in that film. I would be upset if he’d said he liked this trailer better. Saif was also the producer of that film while I was the director. But it was usually the reverse, with me telling him not to come late, for example. We had an easy equation, and even in a difficult situation, both of us had a connection because we were shameless enough to not let it really bother us," Imtiaz said speaking about their bond. 

Recently, Saif had also come out and cleared the air about his comment saying that a little bit teasing is good. "With my daughter, I tried to crack a mildly competitive joke. I’m saying I kind of liked our more but obviously this is a completely different movie. And I don’t think it’s perhaps right to compare but, of course, the producers have chosen the same name and I am quite possessive over our film. I don’t want to come across the wrong way because of course what I said was a joke. A little bit of teasing is good," Saif said. 

While the original Love Aaj Kal released in 2009, the new Love Aaj Kal will hit the theatres on February 14, 2020, starring Sara Ali Khan, Kartik Aaryan, and Arushi Sharma.
