The last time we witnessed a poignant romantic flick made by Yash Chopra was ‘Veer Zaara’. A heart-touching tale of alienated hearts and their reunion was the heart and soul of this film featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta in lead roles.

The versatile moviemaker Yash, who celebrated his birthday recently has admitted that he has signed Aamir Khan for next directorial.

It’s worth mentioning that Aamir’s relationship with Chopra family developed more closely after ‘Fanaa’. As well, Yash had approached Aamir to do the lead role in ‘Darr’ (1993), which was later performed by Shah Rukh Khan.

According to the sources, Yash Chopra has planned to commence the project by Jan 2010 and release it by yearend.

However, when approached Rafiq Gangjee of YRF, he says "Yash Chopra's next directorial script has still not been finalized. The issue of casting arises only after that."
