Director Yash Chopra, is not titled "London Ishq" for next production

Yash Raj Films (YRF) officials says that their next production, directed by head honcho Yash Chopra, is not titled "London Ishq", as has been reported in certain sections of the media.

"Despite repeated confirmations that Yash Chopra`s film still remains untitled, large sections of the media continue to call it `London Ishq`. This is completely baseless, inaccurate and detrimental to the film," said an official statement from YRF.

The yet-to-be titled film, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, started shooting for its first schedule in the third week of February in London. It has been creating a huge buzz all over since the first look was unveiled.

The film also brings together the Oscar award-winning pair of A.R.Rahman and Gulzar, who along with Chopra, are working on creating some wonderful and meaningful music.

Scheduled for a Diwali release, the film is expected to add the same fervour to the festive time that Chopra`s films are known for.

Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif unaware of the climax!

Yash Chopra’s directorial venture is making a lot of noise since the time of its inception. Firstly, Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif working together came as a big shock to the audience and now the director has added some more excitement. As per reports, he is trying to keep the climax of the film under wraps, not only for the world but also for Shah Rukh Khan, Kartina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

Apparently, the ending is known only to Yash Chopra himself and his son Aditya Chopra. SRK has also been kept away from the secret. All we have been able to find out is that, it’s a love triangle set in London, where the three actors play contemporary working class characters. The treatment of love is very mature and every actor has their own challenging part to play.

Well, now it’s time to wait and watch who will get SRK, will it be Katrina or Anushka.

Sridevi- Rishi Kapoor to launch music of "Chaar Din Ki Chandni"

One of the highlights of Samir Karnik's forthcoming film Chaar Din Ki Chandni about love, courtship, ched-chaad, shaadi naach-gana and band-baaja-baraat is a remixed version of the title song from Yash Chopra's 1989 romantic blockbuster Chandni.

'Chandni O Meri Chandni ' was sung by Sridevi and Jolly Mukherjee, and filmed on 'Chandni' Sridevi and her screen-suitor Rishi Kapoor. It went on to become a runaway hit.

Now, in what appears to be a master-stroke of nostalgic homage, director Karnik has managed to get the original Chandni pair Sridevi and Rishi Kapoor to release the music of Chaar Din Ki Chandni at a suburban hotel in Mumbai on Wednesday evening.

Rishi and Sridevi who were paired in the blockbusters Nagina and Chandni have not come together since they were paired last in the flop Kaun Sacha Kaun Jhootha in 1997. Rishi and Sridevi are expected to do a jig to the tune of 'Chandni O Meri Chandni ' on Wednesday evening. Rishi seems to be in quite a jiggy mood these days, in spite of his knee injury. At David Dhawan's son Rohit's sangeet ceremony before the wedding in Goa, he pulled his wife Neetu out of her seat and they both danced to some of their evergreen R.D. Burman hits.

Sri, of course, continues to be shy of public appearances.

More interesting than the Chandni pair being reunited is the behind-the-scenes maneuverings to bring them together.

Apparently, both Rishi and specially Sridevi were shy about a reunification for the music release of Chaar Din Ki Chandni . They initially declined to grace the function, until Jeetendra, a close buddy of Rishi and Sridevi's most trusted and long-lasting co-star, intervened.

Says a source, "Jeetendra convinced Sri and Chintu to make this rare together appearance for his son's sake. Tusshar is the romantic lead in Chaar Din Ki Chandni . For the boy's sake the Chandni pair agreed to come together."

Interestingly, the song 'Chandni O Meri Chandni ' originally from the film Chandni , has been shot in Karnik's film like a Jeetendra-Sridevi number 'Nainon Mein Sapna ' from Himmatwala . Hence, Jeetendra's interest in the song is not just parental but also personal.

Confirming the Sridevi-Rishi jodi's scheduled togetherness for Wednesday, director Samir Karnik said, "It's an honour to have them as a part of my film. The song is a tribute to their magic.
