'Laila Majnu,' recently re-released in theatres, is creating history at the Box Office and earning praise from viewers. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has expressed his admiration for the romantic drama.

On Wednesday, Khurrana shared a poster and the song 'Hafiz Hafiz' from 'Laila Majnu' on his Instagram Story, stating his 'obsession' with both the music and the film. He commented, 'Was always obsessed with the soundtrack, but now I am obsessed with the film too. Whatta beauty, Thank you for the purity.' He added, 'Friends kept talking about it, and I don't know how I missed this film.'

The story of 'Laila Majnu' revolves around Qais and Laila, Kashmiri lovers separated by family hostility. Laila marries another man as Qais travels to London. The film stars Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri and is directed by Sajid Ali.
