Laila Majnu is a 1949 Telugu-language historical romance film, based on the Sufi legend of Laila-Majnu.

Besides, Umri implored Sarvaar to secure his son, which he accepted, stipulating that Manju be evidence that he was not insane.

Ergo, the nuptial is conducted, Laila walks to Iraq with the Emperor, and Manju turns into a desert rover.

The arrival of Laila irks the Emperor's mistress, Zarina, who harshly forwards but pacifies, mindful of her shattered story.

Laila Majnu, an ancient epic of love, is an integral part of classic Sufi literature.

Nizami Ganjavi's 12th century version in scintillating verse filled with allegorical flourishes has been translated into numerous languages.

Mian Mohammad Bakhsh's interpretation of the epic is held as an acclaimed treatise in Pakistan till this day.

With his first film, Rathnamala, turning a box office hit, studio owner and director Ramakrishna was on the lookout for a suitable subject for Bharani's next venture.

A screening of the Hindi version was arranged for his actress-wife Bhanumathi and Akkineni Nageswara Rao, whom he had thought of for the protagonist's role.

Ranga who bagged this assignment thanks to his brother Garudachari, a close friend of Ramakrishna, proved his worth and it was the turning point in his future life and career.

Playback singers are Ghantasala, S. Dakshinamurthi, Madhavapeddi Satyam R. Balasaraswathi Devi, P. Leela & Jikki.

An article published in the Hindu wrote about this movie, "While the opulent palace, garden and other sets were put up in the floor, the desert set with a pond, palm trees (to resemble date trees found in deserts) and sand dunes were created in the open space between the studio and the recording theatre and the scenes were shot there during the nights for the right effect.

F. Nagoor made another Laila Majnu in 1950 under the banner Balaji Pictures and shot at Newtone studios with T. R. Mahalingam and M. V. Rajamma .
