Bas Karo Yashji

Just when you thought Yash Chopra had gone into hibernation-until-death mode, he’s started working on a new script. The last time we were exposed to his brand of eye-poking cinema was four years ago with Veer Zaara. And now, to add one more to his staggering list of insufferable movies, he’s making another romantic comedy with Shah Rukh and Amitabh Bachchan.

I thought he’d take his chances late in life and would attempt to tackle a different sort of movie but no; the higher the pile of money your carcass slaloms down when you’re dead the better right Yashji? So I guess the four year break was dedicated to training his hamster, Aditya Chopra, to take the reigns after his death.

The upcoming movie was thought to be a remake of Kabhie Kabhie, but that turned out to be a rumour. The fact is that all of Yashji’’s movies are remakes of his first movie. And so, after the two Chopras are done working on Aditya’s pending closed garage with the car engine running of a release called Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Yashji will focus on re-writing some old script that’s lying around in his basement. Throw in SRK and a train pulling away from a European station and you’ve got yourself a hit.
