Ali Abbas Zafar returns to YRF, to direct multiple big budget tentpole original theatrical projects!

MUMBAI: Acclaimed director Ali Abbas Zafar is returning to Yash Raj Films to collaborate and direct multiple original theatrical projects under his mentor Aditya Chopra’s banner.

“Ali Abbas Zafar is a film-maker who has gone on to make huge hit films at YRF like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Sultan, Gunday and Tiger Zinda Hai. So, this is an exciting development because Ali is technically returning to his alma mater,” says a trade source.

“We are sure Ali will scale greater heights as he creatively collaborates with Aditya Chopra on multiple big budget tentpole projects for YRF. They two haven’t yet locked the projects that Ali will now direct at YRF. But we can confirm that these will be original theatrical projects. So, now there is massive anticipation to see what fresh films will be made by Ali at YRF,” the source adds.
