Alif Laila is being remade by Triangle Films Company who are known for their costume dramas like Devon Ke Dev Mahadev, The Adventures Of Hatim, Akbar Birbal, Hazir Jawab Birbal, Siya Ke Ram, Prem Ya Paheli Chandrakanta, Shaktipeeth Ke Bhairav. They also made supernatural show Phir Laut Aayi Naagin, a show of 100 episodes and it has a Season 2 Ek Anokhi Rakshak Naagkanya which has a superheroine fighting different villains every week in different stories. They made normal shows like Baba Aiso Varr Dhundho and Kaleerein too. Now these same makers are bringing remake of Alif Laila of which the shooting has already started. They recently released their first teaser.

Ankit Arora and Shiny Doshi plays the leads. Ankit is known for playing negative character in normal shows and mostly in costume dramas though he played positive roles too. Shiny did lead roles in shows like Sarojini and Jamai Raja 2.0. Since this PH always show women as strong especially the female leads and male leads as gentlemen who don't torture the heroines or marry them forcibly I wonder how they will show Shahryar and Scherezade here. Will they really show the male lead as women hater and wives killer and female lead as story-telling last wife and surviving wife? I hope they don't show this and make their leads strong and kind like they do with their other lead pairs. If they want modern audience to watch this show they better show the story differently than a love story between wives killer husband and a story teller wife like they showed Chandrakanta much different than how she was shown in the novel. I hope this show has a good story of the leads being strong and being best friends who solve problems together and falling in love in the process like they do to their other shows. This is the PH's second remake of old show after remaking Chandrakanta as Prem Ya Paheli Chandrakanta. I watched 2 episodes on fast forward. I really hope this one don't go like original where the heroine calls her murderer husband as 'aaka' or 'huzoor' and herself as his 'kaneez' and does stupid acts to please him even knowing he will kill and giving stupid bhaasans. And hero was arrogant and rude to his wife and was only postponing her death just to know the complete story as she would tell the stories only at night and leave it half till the morning. I may give try to this remake for a couple of episodes and if it turns like original then I would not continue it. Waiting for them to release full promo to know the plot.
Anyone here who know the original story of Alif Laila or seen the old show?
