SRK back in Yash's Raaj

In a bid to change the tide, Yash Raj Films has signed on the superstar for its next, which will either be directed by head honcho Yash Chopra or his son Aditya

Given their recent records, Yash Raj Films (YRF) is now trying to salvage its reputation of being one of the most successful and prestigious production houses in Bollywood. A lot of their recent projects bombed at the box office but they haven't let that dampen their spirits.

After offering Dhoom 3 to Aamir Khan (he will start reading the script around October 15), YRF has now got another box-office winner, Shah Rukh Khan to work on one of its forthcoming films.

The last YRF film with King Khan, which Yash Chopra directed himself, was Veer Zaara (2004), a box office success. The production house is counting a lot on the success of its forthcoming project with the actor. This film will either be directed by YRF head honcho Yash Chopra or his son Aditya.

A source says, "YRF is yet to decide who will direct the Shah Rukh starrer. SRK has very good relations with both, Yashji and Aditya. He has equal faith in both of them. They are like family to him."

And interestingly, it may seem as though SRK has proved lucky for the production house, as most of the films the actor has done with them have been successful at the box office, with the exception of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008).

While the lead actor has been finalised, the position of the heroine opposite Shah Rukh still remains open.

Apparently, the SRK starrer for YRF will go on floors in 2011. So, next year, Shah Rukh, who will start shooting for Farhan Akhtar's Don 2, will thus be shooting for at least two films. This will obviously be quite a change from his usual habit of shooting for only one film a year.

When contacted, the YRF spokesperson said, "We are still working on our slate for the coming year and will make our announcements at the appropriate time on the finalisation of our projects."

Here we go again. YRF in trouble. Let's go to SRK and get a hit.
I wish SRK would stop these favors..Rab Ne wasn't very good. And this movie better be better than Rab ne...
Why don't they FOCUS on their scripts for once? Then the movies might be hits like they were before. YRF made amazing TV shows, so what's happened to their movies?

But chak de was awesome and aditya firs approached srk, but he declined and after akki and sallu refused the movie aditya begged srk to do the role and Srk did it. I loved RNBDJ, i think he was fab!! i couldn't imagine any other actor. I think YRF gives srk the best characters to Srk. From darr to DDLJ, DTPH to VZ and Chak de to Rab ne..

Chak De was amazing! I loved it! It was a well-written and well-acted movie!<3
I liked rab ne but not a lot...It doesn't figure in my list of fav SRK movies..
See this movie seems like another attemtp to save YRF like RNBDJ and since I didn't like that movie very much, I am wary of this..

There were rumors last year that srk refused Yash chopra flick because he is now tired of same old love stories and wants to do something news and that's how Aamir and Yash chopra rumors started. Let see but i want to see Srk doing Yash chopra movie, it's been a long time now.
