Does the nameless Yash Chopra film finally have a name?

Yash Chopra's next film starring Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma is certainly among the most anticipated films this year, with reams of press generated about Shah Rukh's role as an army officer and his first visit ever to Kashmir to shoot for the film. Yet, strangely, the name of the film has been a well-kept secret, even though it's just a couple of months away from releasing.

"Yashji has come up with the final title, but he is not revealing it to anyone," the film's spokesperson had said. According to sources, "Whenever anyone asks, he just smiles and says, 'We will all know soon.'" After rumours of London Ishq and Yeh Kahaan Aa Gaye Hum as likely names were scotched, it was revealed that the untitled project would be given a name on September 27, Yash Chopra's 80th birthday.

But it just may be that the secret is out. Trade analyst and Bollywood insider Taran Adarsh tweets: "Breaking: Yash Chopra's new film is called 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. Stars @iamsrk Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma." While an official announcement is awaited from Yash Raj Films, Shah Rukh Khan has tweeted that the name of the film will be released on Wednesday. "Tomorrow...the title of yashji's film will be released. Would tell u now...but will have to kidnap u all and keep u tied down..ha ha," the actor posted on Twitter. YRF may have been beaten to it by Taran Adarsh, and we're not sure that will go down very well with the Chopras - unless Mr Adarsh's tweet is yet another red herring tossed to us.

The film has been referred to as 'production #45' and 'new production' by the cast and crew during filming. But while the name of the film may be shrouded in mystery, the names of its lead characters are not. Shah Rukh Khan plays military man Samar, Katrina Kaif plays Khushi and Anushka Sharma, who's role is really an extended cameo, plays Muskaan. The romantic flick is slated to release this Diwali on November 13, 2012. It will mark the return of Yash Chopra to the director's seat eight years after his last film - Veer Zaara starring SRK, Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherji.
