Aditya Chopra
Now that theatres are back to operating at 100 per cent seating capacity, Aditya Chopra will unveil Yash Raj Films' 50th-anniversary plans. September 27, 2020 marked the start of a year-long celebration of the production house's golden jubilee. Chopra was keen to make the announcement in theatres as his production house believes that movies are meant to be enjoyed on the big screen, not on OTT platforms. It is said that five new films will be announced. We assume one of them is the Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham-starrer Pathan. Updates on Prithviraj, Shamshera, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Bunty Aur Babli 2 and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar will also be provided.
"Adi Chopra revealing the master plan for YRF 50 has been the most awaited announcement in Bollywood and it looks like the countdown has finally begun. With theatres now operating at 100 per cent, the iconic film production company will now roll out their ambitious celebration plan comprising the much-anticipated slate announcement that is expected to blow people's mind! YRF has the biggest slate in Bollywood and they are the only studio to put four new big films in shoot mode in the pandemic!" informs a trade source.
"Adi Chopra has earlier planned YRF 50 announcement to happen at the theatres and he is sticking to that plan. The production house has stood by the theatre owners by not putting any of its films on OTT and it now wants to tell audiences that YRF films are only meant to be big-screen experiences. That's why, this announcement will definitely happen in theatres and the scale of this announcement will wow everyone. A very ambitious plan has been set to motion by Adi and he is holding the cards very close to his chest. So, one can expect the announcement to surprise us all but it is certain that the slate reveal will surely stop press!" the source adds.
YRF is expected to announce five new films and also give further information about Prithviraj, Shamshera, Jayeshbhai Jordaar, Bunty Babli 2 and Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar in the YRF 50 announcement.
