For anyone who follows Instagram and Twitter, and of course Bollywood, today was a very long day as Yash Raj Films mentioned that a big announcement was on its way. The news was to be revealed at 12 am on September 27, Yash Chopra’s 83rd birthday. With timely reminders on both the official channels of the production house, our curiosity and intrigue were on a rise.

And the BIG news is finally here… Aditya Chopra is returning to direction after 7 years with his new project titled, Befikre – Those Who Dare To Love. Aditya had last directed Shah Rukh Khan – Anushka Sharma’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008.

Jr Chopra took to Twitter to share the beautiful and touching story of the film’s inception through an imaginary dialogue between him and his late father whom he called his “go to guy.” The above pic was posted on YRF’s Twitter handle with a mere “It’s OFFICIAL. #Befikre.”

BollywoodLife was the first to break the news that Adi was to return to direction and that he has signed Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma as his leads since he was super impressed by their chemistry in Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do. There is, however, no confirmation of the latter yet. 

We’ve now learnt that the film is going to be a romcom and given that Aditya is the director who gave us films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, we are extremely excited about his new project too. What about you?
