Love Aaj Kal is a romantic comedy-drama which is directed by the prolific filmmaker Imtiaz Ali. The film released in 2009 and starred Padukone alongside Saif Ali Khan in the lead role. After over a decade, Imitiaz released a spiritual successor of the superhit film by the same title, starring the rumoured couple Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles. However, 2020's Love Aaj Kal could not match the standards set by the Saif and Deepika starrer and didn't fare well at the box office either.
