"Everyone wants to make a legendary love story. But 'Laila Majnu', 'Romeo Juliet' have already been made. I don't think history inspires me, I would rather create stories," said Johar, at a promotional event of Bela Sehgal's "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi".

He was speaking after unveiling of the film's second poster, which depicts lead pair Boman Irani and Farah Khan dressed as Rahul and Anjali from Johar's own "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai".

Unveiling the poster, he said: "It feels stunning. I never thought I would see these visuals again after 14-15 years."

According to Johar, Boman and Farah are a "legendary lovers of Indian cinema" and they bring an "unusual love story" with them.
