Yash Raj Films completed 50 years recently. There were some news reports stating that a Yash Chopra biopic is being planned by Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan was being considered to star in it. However, YRF has denied this piece of information. YRF's official spokesperson says, "This is a baseless rumour. There are absolutely no plans to make a biopic on Yash Chopra ji."
Aditya Chopra, recently wrote a note about the 50-year long journey of the production house. "In 1970, my father Yash Chopra left the security and comfort of his brother Mr BR Chopra and formed his own company. Till then, he was a salaried employee of BR Films and didn't own anything of his own. He did not know how to run a business and did not even have the basic knowledge of what goes into making a company. All he had was a strong belief in his talent and hardwork and a dream to be self-reliant. That conviction of a creative man backing nothing but himself and his art, gave birth to Yash Raj Films. Mr V Shantaram, who owned Rajkamal Studios, graciously gave him a small room in his studio for his office. My father didn't know then, that the small company that he started in a tiny room, would one day become the biggest film company of the Indian Film Industry," wrote Aditya.
He went on to add, "In 1995, as Yash Raj Film entered its 25 year, my directorial debut Dilwale Dunlhaniye Le Jayenge released. The historic success of that film gave me confidence to give wings to some crazy ideas that I had for the future of YRF. Besides the immense love that my father had for me, he now also had a lot of faith in my ideas because of the miraculous success of my film. I had forseen the advent of corporate studios coming to India and taking over our business. I wanted us to achieve a certain scale, so that we could retain our independence before they came in."
