Heer Ranjha: Rohit Saraf Cast as Ranjha in Imtiaz Ali & Sajid Ali's Romantic Epic;Details Inside

Eight years after the release of the poetic masterpiece Laila Majnu, the creative powerhouse trio of Imtiaz Ali, Ektaa R. Kapoor, and director Sajid Ali are reuniting to bring another legendary love story to the silver screen.On Valentine's Day 2026, the makers sent excitement news through the industry by announcing Heer Ranjha with a soul-stirring concept teaser.While the official teaser focused on the Love Legacy continuing, Variety India has exclusively revealed the first major casting update: Rohit Saraf has been locked to play the iconic role of Ranjha. At 29, Rohit Saraf is set to undergo a major transformation for what is being described as his most intense and emotionally taxing role to date. Known primarily for his boy-next-door charm in the Netflix global hit Mismatched and films like Ishq Vishk Rebound, Saraf's casting as Ranjha marks a strategic shift toward high-stakes drama. According to the exclusive report by Variety, while Rohit takes on the mantle of Ranjha, the makers are sticking to the successful Laila Majnu template by launching a fresh newcomer as Heer. Though her identity is currently a closely guarded secret, sources suggest she has already been finalized after extensive screen tests. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   Heer Ranjha serves as a modern cinematic reimagining of the classic Punjabi folk tragedy, which was most famously documented by poet Waris Shah in 1766. Following the creative blueprint of the 2018 cult hit Laila Majnu, the screenplay by Imtiaz Ali is expected to translate the raw, timeless intensity of the original legend into a contemporary setting. Known for his ability to portray deep, spiritual love in films like Rockstar and Tamasha, Ali's writing aims to make this centuries-old story of familial opposition and separation feel visceral and relatable for today's Gen-Z audience, proving that the essence of such legendary romances remains unchanged by time. The tale has seen several iconic adaptations in the past, most notably Chetan Anand's 1970 version starring Raaj Kumar and the 1992 Harmesh Malhotra film featuring Anil Kapoor and Sridevi.However, positioned as a spiritual successor or the second chapter of the Laila Majnu franchise, this version aims for the raw, atmospheric intensity that made Sajid Ali's previous film a cult classic. While official confirmation from Balaji Motion Pictures is awaited—with some trade reports suggesting casting discussions are still formally ongoing—the buzz surrounding Rohit Saraf's involvement has already made Heer Ranjha one of the most anticipated romantic dramas of the decade.
