Ali Abbas Zafar and Yash Raj Films are set to reunite for a series of projects, according to reports. Zafar, who has made the first four films of his career (Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Gunday, Sultan, and Tiger Zinda Hai) under the YRF banner, later made films like Bharat, Amazon Prime Video series Tandav and Netflix drama Jogi under different banners. After his latest film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan tanked at the box office, the director is reportedly planning to make a comeback with a YRF project. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was produced by T-Series.
A source told Variety, “Ali Abbas Zafar is a filmmaker who has gone on to make huge hit films at YRF like ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan,’ ‘Sultan,’ ‘Gunday’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai.’ So, this is an exciting development because Ali is technically returning to his alma mater.”
The source added, “We are sure Ali will scale greater heights as he creatively collaborates with Aditya Chopra on multiple big budget tentpole projects for YRF. The two haven’t yet locked the projects that Ali will now direct at YRF. But we can confirm that these will be original theatrical projects.”
Ali Abbas Zafar’s first four collaborations with YRF were quite successful at the box office. Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, which was his debut film, was made on a budget of Rs 28 crore. The film, starring Katrina Kaif and Imran Khan, went on to earn Rs 94.10 crore worldwide, according to Sacnilk.
Similarly, his next venture with the production banner, Gunday, starring Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, and Arjun Kapoor, earned Rs 130.90 crore globally. It was made on a budget of Rs 51 crore. The success of the films were followed by Salman Khan’s Sultan– Rs 421.25 crore earnings on a budget of Rs 80 crore–and, Tiger Zinda Hai–Rs 558 crore collection on a budget of Rs 210 crore.
