In 1975, Gabbar Singh told Basanti, “Jab tak tere paaon
chalenge uski sans chalegi.” And the chammak
challo from Sholay danced crazy to the beat of the RD Burman number “Jab
tak hai jaan, jaane jahaan, main naachoongi.”
Thirty-seven years later, comes Shah Rukh Khan on a Royal
Enfield bike, riding high on his superstar days; almost making a comeback of
sorts with his first mentor Yash Chopra’s movie, co-starring his contemporary
Salman Khan’s on-and-off-girlfriend Katrina Kaif, in a film by the YRF banner, which
shot him to dizzying heights years ago with Darr.
As we all know, it’s been the first time in the history of
Bollywood, that a filmmaker had kept the title of his movie ‘under wraps’ till
its neared release. Even as a teaser of the movie was out recently with the
theatrical release of Ek Tha Tiger, everyone was kept wondering what its title
was!
But the cat is finally out of the bag. The Yash Raj Films SRK-Katrina
starrer has been titled Jab Tak Hai Jaan, sounding like an ode to the Sholay
song, with music for the film composed by AR Rehman.
“Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra were really happy that Hema
Malini continued to dance her emotions out with the song in Sholay,” quips
Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar. “What better title for SRK than one which
consolidates his never-ending box-office romp. It aptly compliments his
never-say-die attitude,” adds the publicity expert, complimenting the
intelligent title.
We don't know much about others, but it sure would make Hema
Malini very very happy!
Scheduled for a November 13, 2012 release, the film, also
starring Anushka Sharma in the lead, is believed to be a love triangle and
marks the return of Yash Chopra as a director after a gap of eight years; his
last film being Veer-Zaara in 2004.
Meanwhile, there are rumours that the theatrical trailer of
Jab Tak Hai Jaan will be released on the filmmaker’s birthday on September 27.
