Yash Raj Films’ new project has gone on the floors today

Aditya Chopra’s new production, Ishaqzaade, starring Boney Kapoor’s son Arjun Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra’s cousin Parineeti Chopra has commenced shooting. The film is being directed by Habib Faisal – the director of the award-winning film Do Dooni Chaar and writer of the Yash Raj’s blockbuster, Band Baaja Baaraat that made a star out of Ranveer Singh. Ishaqzaade is a YRF style love story, explained thus by the makers: ‘Rising from the ashes of hooliganism and small town clan wars, comes the love story of a passion ignited by hatred. Two people. Born to hate. Destined to love.’ The film’s tagline goes: Ishaqzaade hain jitne fasano mein, milte hain kahan ab jahanon mein.
