Jab Tak Hain Jaan

This is the only actress who has been directed by the most famous father-son duo filmmaker, Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra.

The romantic magician Yash Chopra’s dream won’t go to waste. The title song of Jab Tak Hai Jaan which was to be shot by the pasha of romance in Switzerland, would now be used in the end-titles of Yash<em>ji</em>’s swan song. The decision was taken at a flash-meeting held at the Yashraj studios last week immediately after Yashji’s <em>chautha </em> where Aditya Chopra met up with the film’s lyricist Gulzar.

Yash Chopra’s swan song for Jab Tak Hai Jaan won’t be shot at all. The soft love-infused number which the eternal romantic was to capture in his favourite Alpine environment of Switzerland was postponed after Yash Chopra fell ill. The official announcement at the time of the postponement was that the song which was scheduled to be shot in Switrzerland in the last week of October would be shot “later”. But now one hears the number won’t be shot at all.

The much awaited release of YRF’s Jab Tak Hain Jaan music took place today with the launch of its first song Challa. The song was launched at 12 noon on YRF’s official Youtube Channel. Here’s the link below… (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q5duWVfDJo). Starring Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, the film has also brought together the award winning pair of A. R. Rahman and Gulzar, who orchestrated by Yash Chopra, have created some wonderful music for this romantic film.

At an emotion filled evening, legendary producer-director Yash Chopra on his 80th birthday, in conversation with Shahrukh Khan yesterday, took everyone by surprise when he announced his retirement from directing films post his Diwali 2012 release, <em>Jab Tak Hain Jaan</em>.

One doesn’t know if it’s love that’s done the trick. But Aditya Chopra has turned a poet. Everyone attributed the romantic lines that appeared along with the announcement of the title for the new Yash Chopra film, to Gulzar who has penned the lyrics for the film. However the man behind the poetic lines (albeit in faulty faltering Urdu… ‘namkeen mastiyan’ sounds like a parody of Gulzar’s style) is none other than the film’s director’s son Aditya Chopra who as we all know, has taken more than a passing interest in the making of <em>Jab Tak Hain Jaan</em>.
