MUMBAI: Eight years since his last direction, Aditya Chopra is back helming a Yash Raj Films (YRF) production.
Even as his directorial debut Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge continues its record-breaking run in its 13th year, Aditya is ready to direct his third film.
After directing his second film, Mohabbatein, back in 2000, Aditya had taken a conscious break from direction to set up and develop India‘s first studio model making YRF a name to reckon with. In the years that followed, YRF, under the keen eye of Aditya, produced such blockbusters as Dhoom, Dhoom 2, Hum Tum, Bunty Aur Babli, Salaam Namaste, Fanaa and Chak De! India. While Aditya was the creative producer in all these films, he even wrote his father Yash Chopra‘s directorial venture Veer-Zaara in 2004, as well as the stories of other films.
Aditya‘s third directorial venture will be titled Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with Shahrukh Khan in the lead.
In this new film, Aditya will introduce a new girl opposite King Khan. The hunt for the girl is currently in progress.
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, to be produced by Yash Chopra, will be written and directed by Aditya Chopra. Shooting for the film will commence in May, and it will release by the end of 2008.
