Yash Chopra to Cast Amitabh, Abhishek, Shah Rukh, Katrina in his Next Directorial

After a gap of four years, Yash Chopra is back in direction with a multi-starrer project. The name of the movie is yet to be revealed, but the casting seems to be eye-catching featuring few high-profile Bollywood rivalries in the movie together. Yash Chopra’s last directorial venture was 2004 super hit Veer Zaara. Since then he did not venture into direction, even though he continued producing movies under his Yash Raj banner. The legendary director already created attraction for his next venture thanks to the casting.

First of all, Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, who lead Bollywood’s two big camps, avoid each other in most of the time. The relationship between Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan decayed last year and since then they are keeping themselves away from each other. So, roping in both the actors was something eye-catching for many Bollywood fans. Secondly, Katrina Kaif’s involvement in the movie where she has to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan has become a hot topic for in the media. Katrina’s association with Shah Rukh Khan in the movie might hut her beau Salman Khan. The relationship between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan reached at its worst when the two got involved in a hot spat at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party.

So, Yash Chopra seems to have made some impossible possible eve before starting shooting for the movie. That shows his prowess as a director. Now, let us see if Mr. Chopra presents us with another super hit movie.

After Veer Zara in 2004, Yash Chopra, one of the most celebrated filmmakers of Bollywood, is going to direct another movie and he has already roped in some of today’s big stars in the industry including Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif. However, the casting of the movie has already caught the attention of the Bollywood moviegoers as the casting coup features a number of high-profile Bollywood rivalries.


First of all, it was unexpected that Katrina Kaif will be seen in a film alongside Shah Rukh Khan following King Khan’s recent fallout with Salman Khan, the real life love bird of Katrina Kaif. Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan involved in a hot spat at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party few weeks back. Reports suggest that Katrina Kaif took the decision of signing in for Yash Chopra’s next firm herself. She has also signed up for Temptations Reloaded Tour that was spearheaded by Shah Rukh Khan.


Another source suggests that Yash Chopra personally contacted Katrina Kaif with the offer and she was not in a position to say no to someone of Yash Chopra’s stature. This is undoubtedly an eye-catching offer for Katrina Kaif as the film could take a new turn in her career.

Salman Khan is now busy with shooting for Vipul Shah's London Dreams in Paris and London. So, it is yet to see if Salman Khan reacts positively to Katrina Kaif’s decision of signing in for the Yash Chopra’s film alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Another Bollywood rivalry would feature in Yash Chopra’s next Bollywood project.
