Wiki.
Love and God (also known as "Kais Aur Laila") is a 1986 Indian Hindi-language film which was the final film produced and directed by K. Asif. This film was his only directorial venture to be made completely in color. Through this film, the director wanted to convey the legendary love story of Laila Majnu, starring Nimmi as Laila and Sanjeev Kumar as Qais a.k.a. Majnu.
Starting production in 1963, the film had a long and troubled production history with the death of the original lead actor Guru Dutt and then K. Asif in 1971. The film was revived and released in 1986.
