Kunal M Shah, MUMBAI MIRROR, Aug 4, 2010, 10.36am IST
Aditya Chopra has decided to launch his trusted assistant Ali Abbas Zafar as a director with a YRF project tentatively starring Katrina Kaif.
While the mystery over Yash Chopra's next directorial venture continues, it's business as usual at Yash Raj Films. Lafangey Parindey is ready for release and Shaadi Mubarak is on the sets even as YRF is set to start another film which will be directed by one of Aditya Chopra's most trusted assistants, Ali Abbas Zafar. It will be a romantic film.
A source said, "Ali has already assisted Shaad Ali on Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Vijay Krishna Acharya on Tashan, Kabir Khan on New York and Parmeet Sethi on Badmaash Company. Adi has immense trust in him and wanted him to helm a film.
The script is by Adi himself and he has assigned Ali to direct the film for him. There is word that Katrina Kaif has already signed on while talks are on with a top star to play the main lead."
When contacted, YRF's official spokesperson confirmed, "Yes, Yash Raj Films is launching Ali Abbas Zafar as a director.
However, the artistes for the film have still not been completely locked in. We will be making an announcement soon."
Katrina did not revert to our queries.
