The modern love story saga Love Aaj Kal 2, starring Sara Ali Khan & Kartik Aryan, got released today on 14 Feb’20. Imtiaz Ali has once again tried to create the magic of love with this sequel. And what could be the best day to release it than the day of love itself, Valentine’s Day?
Love Aaj Kal, which was released in 2009, starring Deepika Padukone & Saif Ali Khan, was received very well by the audience.
While the movie has received a lot of mixed reviews, its success or failure will be determined soon once the box office numbers are here. But before that, let’s take a look at the marketing strategies that the filmmakers made in order to assure success.
Trailer & The Hype
With its trailer release on 17 January 2020, the movie created an uncontrollable buzz. Imtiaz’s first Love Aaj Kal was a blockbuster and fans were super excited to know that part 2 was on the way.
