Yash Chopra announces retirement

Yash Chopra today announced that Jab Tak Hai Jaan will be his last film. Talking to Shahrukh Khan at an event organized on his birthday, the legendary director said that he has had enough of direction and he will now like to help and assist younger directors. The announcement was made towards the end of the show when SRK asked him about his next film after Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Replying to the question Yash Chopra said “I feel I have done my bit in 60 years. I got lot of love and support from artists, technicians and everyone else in the industry and now it’s time to repay that love. I am very happy and satisfied with the films that I made and now I feel is the right time to put an end to this. I am very happy and satisfied with how Jab Tak Hai Jaan has turned out and now I don’t feel like doing anything more.”

The event saw Yash Chopra talk about his ambitions, dreams and his love for films. Jab Tak Hai Jaan stars Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in lead roles and will release on 13th November.

We look forward to watching Yash Chopra’s last directorial venture. Indian cinema will definitely miss his movies however it’s comforting to know that he will be around to nurture new talent. We wish him luck, health and success!
