'Befikre' to release on December 9

Ace filmmaker Aditya Chopra's directorial comeback "Befikre", starring Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor in the lead, will release on December 9.

The release date of the highly anticipated project was announced by Ranveer and Vaani through a video published on the official YouTube handle of Yash Raj Films (YRF) on Wednesday.

With "Befikre", Aditya is returning to the director's chair after seven years. He is best known for his films like "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", "Mohabbatein" and "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi".

In the over 30-second video, Vaani can be seen announcing the release date of the film in French after which the "Bajirao Mastani" actor translates it into Hindi.

Talking about "Befikre", Ranveer earlier said: "I'm happy that I'm collaborating with Adi (Aditya) sir on his freshest story and endeavour. Whatever you expect normally out of an Aditya Chopra film, this is unlike anything that he's made before."

This will be the first time when Aditya will direct a film without Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role.
