To be written and directed by Imtiaz, this film is one of his long-cherished projects; a love story very close to his heart that he has always wanted to explore on the big screen. The research on the film is currently underway.

“I have always been fascinated by the eternal love story of Radha and Krishna. In all of Indian folklore I know of no other story, which is so intensely personal and yet has such an epic scale. It has been my dream to step into the world of Radha Krishna,” Imtiaz said in a statement.

Shibasish Sarkar of Reliance Entertainment said, “The story of Radha Krishna is one the most fascinating love stories of all times and Imtiaz is India’s most accomplished filmmaker in this space. In its reach and appeal, it transcends boundaries of culture and language. Imtiaz’s idea to bring this eternal love story to the big screen is extremely fascinating and we are delighted to partner with him on this journey. We are exploring various collaborations on the project to make it of a scale befitting its epic nature.”

On the work front, Imtiaz is at present gearing up for the release of ‘Laila Majnu’, which he has written and presented. The film is directed by his brother Sajid Ali and produced by Ekta Kapoor. The film features Avinash Tiwari and Tripti Dimri in the lead roles. It is set to hit the screens on September 7 and will lock horns with JP Dutta’s ‘Paltan’.
