Imtiaz Ali's films always revolve around love, the strongest human emotion. The director feels everything in the universe moves because of love. "I don't know what the relevance of love is, but I feel everything in the universe somehow moves because of it. I feel that if a man and a woman are in love, it is through their love that the universe is moving around. I want to explore these things more," said Ali, at the trailer launch of his next film, "Love Aaj Kal" on Friday in Mumbai. Love Aaj Kal: Saif Ali Khan Reveals he Loved his Film’s Trailer More than Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan Starrer.

The film's lead stars Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan were also present at the event. Ali said he has also passed through the phase that today's youth is passing. "I am at a certain age now, but when I was young I went through the same phase that today's young generation is going through. I feel that everybody goes through the same cycle. They have the same questions in their minds as we had at our time," the filmmaker said. Saif Ali Khan Wanted Imtiaz Ali to Approach him for a Role in Sara Ali Khan – Kartik Aaryan’s Love Aaj Kal?

Films, Ali added, are his way of sharing knowledge about love with the younger generation. "It's not easy to explain the knowledge of love that you had when you are young. We can't force anyone to follow such knowledge and correct his or her life. But in some way, this is my way of talking to the younger generation about love," he said, about his films.
