As already announced, Yash Chopra's next directorial venture stars the king of romance, Shahrukh Khan.

However, after days of media conjecturing, the two actresses who have been confirmed to be a part of this project, who will are Katrina Kaif, who will be playing a role opposite Shahrukh for the very first time, and Anushka Sharma, who was debutante in "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", alongside Shahrukh. The shooting began in London from 22nd February 2012.

Orchestrated by Yash Chopra, this untitled movie will mark the coming together yet again of the award winning duo of the music maestro A. R. Rahman and the poet & lyricist, Gulzar.

 Says an elated Yash Chopra, "It's been 7 years since I directed "Veer-Zaara" and as I begin work on my new film I hear my inner voice asking me a lot of questions. Are you sure you want to direct again, you are nearly 80 years old and the audience is getting younger day by day. Can I really speak from my heart and still expect today's youth to listen to me?"

He further adds,  "All I know is that I'm making a film that I believe in, a film that is about love and nothing else. A film which has an old soul but a young heart. A film which is classic in its look but contemporary in its language. A film which I'm making on one simple faith, the love that my audiences have given to me over the years. They have tolerated my indulgences for the past 50 years, I'm sure they will indulge me one more time."

The film is scheduled for a Diwali 2012 release.
