Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has revealed the title of his romantic drama film Love Aaj Kal was earlier Elastic.
"Window Seat was the working title for Tamasha. For Jab We Met, the working title was Train and for Love Aaj Kal, it was Elastic," the 44-year-helmer told reporters in Mumbai at the trailer launch of Tamasha.
To this Deepika Padukone jokingly said, "So it would be like Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in Elastic."
Imtiaz has worked with both Deepika in Love Aaj Kal and Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar. This time the trio are coming together for Tamasha, which will hit the screens on November 27.
"I had a great experience working with them. It is a learning experience for me as a director, when I work with good actors like them," Imtiaz said.
The Highway director believes in focusing on his present films.
"There is no pressure on me as a director for a film. I don't worry about my previous film. I work towards giving my best for the film that I am working on," he added.
