Love Aaj Kal Actors Kartik Aaryan, Sara Ali Khan On Comparison With The 2009 Film: It's Not A Sequel

Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan’s upcoming romantic drama, Love Aaj Kal, is one of the biggest films of the year. Directed by Imtiaz Ali and produced by him and Dinesh Vijan, the story-line is roughly inspired by Imtiaz’s 2009 hit film of the same name. The much awaited trailer was launched today in a grand event and it has received a mixed up response from the audience. While Kartik is playing the role of Veer who is madly in love, Sara is portraying the character of Zoe, a career oriented girl.

During the trailer launch event, the two were asked how they would deal with comparison with the 2009 film and star cast, which comprised of Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan. According to a report in Pinkvilla, Sara shared, “Comparison is something that will keep on happening. But this isn't a sequel. It's about how love is today. Deepika, my dad, Imtiaz and Dinu had beautifully shown how love was then. Now we are doing it. But it's not a sequel. It's a new story with different characters. We are not playing the same characters. And we have come together to showcase how love is different today. Unnecessary comparison will continue.” Kartik also chimed in, “I think we can never replicate and also this is a completely different film.”

Kartik and Sara, who are rumored to be dating, will be sharing the big screen for the very first time. This is one of the biggest reasons that fans have been waiting eagerly for the film to release. Interestingly, Love Aaj Kal will hit theatres on Valentine’s Day.
