This photograph taken on May 27, 2026 shows Bollywood filmmaker Imtiaz Ali speaking about his upcoming film 'Main Vaapas Aaunga' during an interview with AFP in Mumbai. In an era dominated by hyper-violent blockbusters and larger-than-life action spectacles, Indian filmmaker Imtiaz Ali believes young audiences are searching for something deeper -- love that lasts. The director behind cult romantic dramas such as "Jab We Met", "Rockstar" and "Laila Majnu" told AFP that while Gen Z youth may be growing up in a world of seemingly endless choice, that has only intensified their desire for meaningful connection.
