The Return of the director
In recent times, the Yash Raj brand, perhaps, got too occupied with the surface value and nifty packaging, resulting in sub-standard content leaving the viewer feeling dissatisfied and taken for granted.
It reflected on their resume as well. With the exception of Chak De! India, all their films -- Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Aaja Nachle and Tashan failed to deliver at the BO.
But with Aditya returning to direct (after a good eight years) Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, starring his favourite Shah Rukh Khan and new-find Anushka Sharma, there is much reason to celebrate.
Hopefully, his once potent magic touch will do the trick and bring tons of prosperity to him and his company.
How's that for a birthday wish, Aditya?
