- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 25 2008]
What does it take to entertain audiences across the country year after year? What does it take to be recognized across the world as
Tashan - All too sleek
First up, on the 25th of April, is 'Tashan', the directorial debut of Vijay Krishna Acharya, the scriptwriter of the mega blockbuster 'Dhoom' and 'Dhoom 2'. It is the intriguing story of an irreverent call center executive, a desi wannabe gangster, a beautiful femme fatale and a murderous gangster who loves nothing more than to kill people and practice his English. With a star cast of Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Anil Kapoor, 'Tashan' surely lives up to its name. But itÂs the story underneath the loads of style that will make 'Tashan' a must watch experience. If you thought, only
A Kunal Kohli Film
On 27th June will arrive storyteller Kunal KohliÂs latest offering after the box office blockbusters 'Hum Tum' and 'Fanaa'. Starring Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, 4 kids with attitude and God and a unique storyline. Romance, comedy, drama, pathos, fantasy and more  all that you ever wanted in the darkness of a movie theater is there in the story of this film, which will be titled shortly.
Bachna Ae Haseeno - All you girls out there!
On 15th August, Independence Day, Yash Raj Films will invite you to celebrate the fresh new story of 'Bachna Ae Haseeno', the third film from one of
Roadside Romeo
On 24th October will open a new chapter in Yash Raj Films expanding strides. That date will mark the release of the first full-length animated feature film co-produced by the Studio along with Walt Disney Pictures, the world leaders in animation. 'Roadside Romeo' spins the tale of a rich, cool, spoilt brat of a dog who is abandoned on the streets and now needs to fend with problems the likes of which he has never faced before. It features the voices of Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Jaaved Jaaferi and utilises state-of-the-art computer animation done entirely in
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
Exciting as these four diverse stories are in their own right, there is no doubt that excitement among Indian audiences will be at a fever pitch on the 12th of December. For that is the date on which Aditya Chopra will be back as director for the first time in eight years. For these past eight years, Aditya Chopra has concentrated his creative energies on building Yash Raj Films into IndiaÂs first production house built on the studio model and shaping it into a creative nerve centre that has nurtured some of IndiaÂs best screenwriters, directors and stars. But 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', starring Shah Rukh Khan, will remind audiences (if anyone has forgotten) of the magic touch that has made 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' the longest running motion picture in Indian cinema history. While many of his stories and screenplays have been seen on screen in the last few years, including 'Veer-Zaara', which was helmed by his father Yash Chopra, the romantic confection of 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' looks set to capture hearts across the globe all over again.
Â2008... .Another very exciting year ahead for YRF ... five films of varied genres, varied styles. Two by first time directors, two by acknowledged directors and the yearÂs crowning glory by a director who is going to tap the clap board after eight years.

YRF has scaled up its operations in recent times and the studio model that was embarked upon a couple of years ago is firmly in place... YRF prides itself in being a part of every step of the value chain of a film from its conception to its delivery to the end viewer. said Sanjeev Kohli, Director and CEO, Yash Raj Films.
Five stories, then. Five incredible films that encapsulate the magic of Yash Raj Films in five uniquely different ways. Five reasons to celebrate a wonderful 2008 with Yash Raj Films.
The wait has just begunÂ
