Yashraj Films to distribute Shahrukh Khan’s Happy New Year?

In the last 41 years that Yash Raj Films’ has been in the business, the production – distribution house has never distributed a film produced by another banner (except Dharma Productions).

All that ‘could’ change with Shahrukh Khan’s upcoming ‘Happy New Year’ which is scheduled to release during Diwali this year.

While Fox Star Studios and Eros International were considered to be the favourites to bag the theatrical rights of the much-awaited film, the buzz in the industry is that SRK and Aditya Chopra recently met and have decided to work together to distribute the film both in India and in the overseas markets.

Directed by Farah Khan, Happy New Year also stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and Boman Irani. The poster of the film was revealed in the first week of January.

T-Series has acquired the music rights of the film.

  • This movie will do good at BO. .right now,my prediction is 220 crores(with good wom) to 160 crores(with bad wom). Let’s see. .

  • If Ajay Devgn is thinking of repeating Jthj-sos clash with action Jackson yrf will now ensure that not one screen he will get this time.

  • Understandable decision.
    Eros used to distribute SRK films before. But after epic failure of Billu and enormous loss from Ra.One, Eros has lost all trust in SRK’s stardom. So SRK is back to the studio Yashraj who spoonfed him in his first 10-15 years.
    HNY will do 125-150 crore max.

  • Indicine never misses any related to SRK…Ranveer is casted in Shuddhi,Ajay in Bajirao n Neeraj Pandey casted Akshay kumar in his movie n its shooting will start frm 1st week of April…no news related to these post

  • @indicine what do you think a clash this Diwali between SRK and Ajay would happen or not? Predict collections of both the movies incase of clash.

  • This wasn’t expect from team indicine, Yrf distributed films also for other banner, they distributed Mann & mangal pandey, Koi mil gaya,krrish,krazzy 4 and others too. Bytheway Srk-yrf connection well known, he knows what is importance of that banner in his life.Great it was always expected by my side.

  • Yashraj/Dharma is the secret of SRK’s stay in bollywood.
    But he couldnt give Yashraj its highest grosser. King Salman gave Yashraj its first 100 crore film. King Aamir gave Yashraj its first 200 crore film.
    When will SRK repay his debt? He should follow the path of King Aamir and King Salman.

  • @Nirajeev wateva lootera:
    although lootera wasn’t a popular movie and didn’t perform well on BO. but now it seems i have made this movie too popular on this site ! Lol. .

  • Woww.. Its a good news.
    In sha Allah hny wil collect above 110 crores in its opening weekend n wil do lifetime business of around 250-300 crores

  • Waiting for our chitty complan boy @sss comments, his first prediction for HNY Is 300cr domestic and 200cr overseas and 600cr worldwide. But if Yrf distributing Happy new year than the prediction is 185 billion worldwide figure, Record of Avtar is been thrashed by our king srk in just 2 open week.His act in HNY will provide him Oscar, filmfare and National award. After seeing this huge collection and Achievement Srk will get Bharat Ratna as Like Saif got after Hum tum for him. If there were on big release in November than total ww collection will reach to alltime high With 300 billion mark.

  • wow idiots are here original aks & fake fan u dumbo check out who have contribute lot to make yrf stronger

  • But i was not sure but after this news i am Quite Sure HNY will Cross 300cr in India. it will make new record. Waiting for it (y)

  • Before i was not sure but after this news i am Quite Sure HNY will Cross 300cr in India. it will make new records. Waiting for it (y)

  • @sky,I don’t about avatar but I confirmed dhoom3 is at it’s peak of destruction,lol.now our target is 350cr-400cr.you know what dude don’t bother about SRK’s movies because it’s you know very well how it will perform and due to that insecurity that attracted you to here and forced to right this.now my suggestion for you is better to bother about p.k which will clash,you can also have freedom right what will prediction of p.k,but instead of doing that you worried about us so much.look your dhoom3’s hero looking so suffocated,lol.now tell what’s the overseas collection mr.compaln I mean amir khan,because you’ll very soon find this movie in no.1 list,lol.so @sky I don’t want to tell you anymore becauseit’s haters know what is SRK’s power.lol.last year how CE with 3big clashes stung you and it gave so many nightmares to you,it’s we know very well,it’s dhoom with so many free weeks and screens who saved you,now who’ll save you,lol?also seems this time Raju couldn’t save you even though p.k will run like 3idiots for 70 days,lol.poor perfaketionist fans,ab rote raho aur…

  • @Nirajiv lootera whatever your name itself is so funny that i couldn’t stop my laughter and @nipun yes you undoubtly made Lootera popular as some hritik hater using your name for fun including lootera.

  • @False Fan, What about Mansoor Khan who spoon fed tingu??? And Salim Khan connections/Rasjeshri who spoonfed bhojpuri bahi?????? At least SRK was a self made star who make YRF and Dharma into the gr8 and big production houses they are today!

    Oh yeh and ur so called kings didnt give yash raj 100 and 200 crore, in fact Yash Raj gave them 100 and 200 crore films!!!!!

    YRF was struggling before SRK, and SRK made them into the powerhouse they are today and then bhopuri and tingu came along after all the hardwork has been done and then selfishly reaped the rewards…………………….Man this is foolishness, how can u dare to say Tingu gave yrf 200crore with D3???? Any big star with D3 wud hav gotten 200, same with Salman and ETT………………

  • @sky Correction It is Lootera which has made the ‘alcoholic’ nipun famous here on Indicine- before Lootera ‘nipin’ was just another kiddie frogman style mask wearing fan of Rohit but now “Queen Looteras Jackpot size Lunchbox” has made ppl take note of that losers idiocy before dismissing it…!

  • Its does not matters who distribute the film of superstars…………..in case of big star movies about 80% common audience even dont know the distribution house…………….Anyway it will be a great movie at boxoffice…….little confused about content,but i will watch it definitely as i only watch srk movie in cinema on my own…….but if any friend of me ask me to watch a non srk starrer movie i simply say i am not going to waste a single rupee on these stars …………
    someone mentioned that UTV and yrf are best distributers……totally agree with you man……………..
