Love Aaj Kal tells a story of two generations. Saif has two looks in the film. In one, he plays Veer Singh, who falls in love with Harleen Kaur in 1965. In the second, he plays Jai, who falls in love with Meera in the current year.

Love Aaj Kal will see real life couple Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh get together on screen once again.
