A few days after denying that Katrina Kaif would be a part of ‘Dhoom:3’, Yash Raj Films has confirmed that both Katrina and Shah Rukh Khan are very much part of their other project, the yet untitled film to be directed by Yash Chopra.
Not only this, Anushka Sharma (who was launched by Yash Raj in the SRK-starrer ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’) is also a part of this new project. A. R. Rahman and Gulzar are already on board.
An official release by Yash Raj carried a few comments by Yash Chopra, the veteran filmmaker. Excerpts:
“It’s been 7 years since I directed Veer-Zaara and as I begin work on my new film I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 years old and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today’s youth to listen to me? Will I be able to live up to the blind faith that Shahrukh Khan has in me and give him yet another memorable romantic film? Will I be able to present the beautiful Katrina Kaif and the very talented Anushka Sharma in a way they have never been seen before? Will I be able to inspire Rahman and Gulzar Bhai enough to create their best work yet?
“The honest answer is… I DON’T KNOW! All I know is that I’m making a film that I believe in, a film that is about love and nothing else. A film which has an old soul but a young heart. A film which is classic in its look but contemporary in its language. A film which I’m making on one simple faith… the love that my audiences have given to me over the years. They have tolerated my indulgences for the past 50 years, I’m sure they will indulge me one more time.”
The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release.
Our Take:
Is this Yash Raj’s biggest film so far? Perhaps! Incidentally, the production house has several other A-list movies in the pipeline: Ranveer Singh – Anushka Sharma starrer ‘Ladies V/s Ricky Bahl’, Aamir Khan – Abhishek Bachchan starrer ‘Dhoom:3’ and Salman Khan – Katrina Kaif starrer ‘Ek Tha Tiger’.
