“Bahut ho gaya abhi”: Yash Chopra declared his innings!

Eminent director Yash Chopra declared today that he will not direct film any more.  Today is Yash Chopra’s 80^th birth day, and on that day itself the director-producer chose to declare his innings. Presently he’s calling shots for ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’; after a long gap the great director had taken up his directorial baton again for this SRK-Katrina starrer and probably this could be his last directorial venture. 
”Bahut ho gaya abhi.  My heart says bahut ho gaya abhi. I will not direct any other film after ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’,” declared Yash Chopra while talking with Shah Rukh Khan on his birthday celebrations.  “The industry has given me so much. 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,’ Chopra said.  Shah Rukh, who respects Yash Chopra a lot and whom Shah Rukh thinks his godfather in the film industry; except his blessings he could never be what he today is, after hearing it he just couldn’t talk for a while.  Later Shah Rukh said, “I feel sad but great people decide when they want to finish.  For years I have worked with Yashji.  This is a moment of happy sadness.”  Yash Chopra, who started directing films in 1959 with ‘Dhool Ka Phool’ and since then he has been in the industry for last five decades, will certainly create a vacuum with his decision for not to direct film any more.  We want Yash Chopra to carry on, and definitely we would like to request the director to review his decision.
