Yash Chopra was 80 and had celebrated his birthday less than a month back. He was soon scheduled to fly to Switzerland to shoot a song on Sharukh Khan and Katrina Kaif for Jab Tak Hai Jaan, which he had declared to be his last directorial venture.
On his birthday on September 27, Yash Chopra had declared his retirement from direction.
“Bahut ho gaya abhi. My heart says bahut ho gaya abhi. I will not direct any other film after 'Jab Tak Hain Jaan'. I have got lot of love in all these years. I think now the time has come to pay back. I want to help directors, actors, technicians who I could not help all these years,” Yash Chopra had said.
Mr. Chopra was born in Lahore on September 27, 1932. He began his film career as an assistant director to I.S. Johar and his elder brother, B.R. Chopra. He made his directorial debut with Dhool Ka Phool in 1959. In his career spanning half a century, Chopra directed several memorable films like Deewar, Trishul, Chandni, Silsila, Kabhie Kabhie, Veer Zaara and others. His last film Jab Tak Hai Jaan will release posthumously on November 13.
Wow. He will be missed in Bollywood. A lot of actors and actresses in bollywood dreamed of working with him and under his banner, and those that did considered it one of the highlights of their careers. I've seen some of this work too, and yes, he was the king of romance in Bollywood. Veer Zaara is one of my favorites. May his soul rest in peace.
