Aditya Chopra is all set to come back with a bang! Eight years after he directed his last venture, ‘Mohabbatein’, he has again donned the director’s cap. This time, Aditya has announced plans of making ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, under the banner of ‘Yash Raj Films’. The audience, which has still not gotten over his debut movie ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’, is sure to look forward to this one too. What serves as the icing on the cake is the fact that the film will once again see the teaming up of Aditya Chopra with Shahrukh Khan.
Yes, you have guessed it right. Shahrukh Khan will be playing the lead role in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’. As for the female lead, to be paired opposite the King Khan, Aditya has decided to get a new face. Currently, the hunt is on for the new girl, who will have the perfect debut in this Aditya-Shahrukh movie. Apart from directing the movie, Aditya will also be writing its script. The shooting is believed to start somewhere around May 2008.
You can hope to see the excellent work of Aditya Chopra by the end of 2008, the time when the film is expected to be released. After directing Mohabbatein in 2000, Aditya had deliberately taken a break from direction. However, his self-imposed break was not without a purpose. Throughout the eight-year period, Aditya was not sitting idle. He was busy setting up India's first studio model, which will in time make ‘Yash Raj Films’ a banner to reckon with.
At the same time, Aditya also played an active part in the production of some of the biggest hits in the recent past, like Dhoom, Dhoom 2, Hum Tum, Bunty Aur Babli, Salaam Namaste, Fanaa and Chak De India (all of them produced under the banner of Yash Raj Films. Apart from being a creative producer in these films, he also wrote the script of a number of films, including Yash Chopra's directorial venture ‘Veer Zaara’, which came out in 2004.
