Rohit Saraf To Star In Heer Ranjha

According to Variety India, Rohit has been locked to play the lead role of Ranjha, which is expected to be his most intense and challenging performance to date. While Saraf will portray Ranjha, a newcomer has been finalised to play Heer, though her identity is being kept under wraps for now.

An official confirmation regarding Rohit Saraf’s casting is still awaited from the makers.

Heer Ranjha Will Serve As Second Chapter Of Laila Majnu

Heer Ranjha will serve as the second chapter of the beloved Laila Majnu franchise. According to the makers, "Rooted in classic romance yet shaped for today's time, Heer Ranjha reimagines love for a new generation, promising a poetic and emotionally immersive cinematic experience. The title reveal has already sparked strong excitement among fans of the Laila Majnu franchise."

In a statement, Ektaa said that Imtiaz Ali and Sajid Ali have the rare ability to capture love with honesty and depth, adding that while Laila Majnu found its audience over time and became a cult classic, Heer Ranjha is a love story that aims to transcend time and emotions and connect with audiences across the Indian diaspora and beyond.

While, Imtiaz said, "Heer Ranjha has its own world and rhythm - it speaks the love language of this generation while staying rooted in something eternal. Collaborating with Ektaa again feels like a natural continuation of a shared emotional language."
