Jab Tak Hai Jaan (As Long as There's Life) is an upcoming 2012 Bollywood film directed by Yash Chopra, written and produced by Aditya Chopra under their production house Yash Raj Films. The film features Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in pivotal roles, making it the first film to pair Khan and Kaif and the second collaboration between Khan and Sharma. This is Yash Chopra's fourth film to feature Khan in the lead role. The film, termed as a love triangle, marks the return of Yash Chopra as a director after eight years, his last film being Veer-Zaara in 2004.

The soundtrack will be composed by A. R. Rahman, who will be working with Yash Chopra for the first time in his career. The film is scheduled for release on 13 November 2012.

Cast

• Shahrukh Khan as Samar Anand

It was reported that Shahrukh Khan would play a role spanning across two life stages; first, in his 20s of a role resembling that of his earlier performance Raj from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), while the second of a more matured age, an army officer in Ladakh.

• Katrina Kaif as Krishi

Prior to the film's release, Kaif's role was described as "the archetypal Yash Chopra seductress; an unattainable beauty". She was reported to have put in a significant amount of work to make her character believable, and was helped by Khan, who had prior experience with the director. Kaif faced difficulty at times while filming in London due to the cold weather.

• Anushka Sharma as Akira

Anushka Sharma was reported to have been portraying the second female lead in the film. However, in April 2012, it was reported that she would be playing only an extended cameo appearance in the film. This was later denied by their official spokesperson. Later in an interview with a leading daily journal, Anushka revealed partially that her role is of a 21-year-old girl who is very hard working and ambitious, working for Discovery channel and is trying to make a documentary.

• Anupam Kher

Kaif's father in the film. He stated in an interview that his role in the film was a cameo appearance.

Production

Development

In June 2011, Yash Raj Films released a statement announcing a new directorial venture by Yash Chopra, which would coincide with the 50th anniversary of his career in Bollywood. The producers also announced that film would release on the Diwali weekend of 2012. According to Chopra, the film was planned in early 2009, but he did not want Khan to work on any film other than his simultaneously. In an interview with The Telegraph, he said, "My film is an emotional film. It is not comedy, action, escapism ... This is what we call an internal film. There are only three characters their emotions, happiness, sadness."

He also stated that the film was untitled as of that time, similar to his previous film Veer-Zaara which was named on the day of its submission to the Central Board of Film Certification. The producers had considered a variety of options but were reportedly not satisfied. Yash Chopra had later "nearly finalized" the title Jai, but retracted it afterwards. In June 2012, it was reported that Yash Raj Films had strongly considered naming the film as Yeh Kahaan Aa Gaye Hum, inspired by a popular song from Yash Chopra's 1981 film Silsila, though the news remained officially unconfirmed. It was confirmed on Tuesday 11th of September 2012 that the title of the movie is Jab Tak Hai Jaan. The title seems to have been inspired from a song of the same name from the 1975 hit film Sholay.

Filming

Initially, the film's principal photography was expected to commence in November 2011. However, it had to be delayed since Khan had wanted to take a break after his two releases in 2011, Ra.One and Don 2. Principal photography officially commenced on 9 January 2012 at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai, where a significant portion of the film was completed.

After the schedule in India, the crew began a 35-day filming schedule in London beginning on February 22, 2012. The film was shot under a working title of Production 45. Khan arrived in London on March 21, 2012 and completed filming his appearance on March 26. During filming photos of the actors on the sets were leaked on the Internet, prompting a camera ban by the producers and an increase in the amount of security for the film's production. A number of locations throughout the city featured in the film, including the Borough Market, Jubilee Walk, the Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf. A key action sequence was filmed at Shepherd's Bush by closing down four streets in the area. The schedule was completed on March 27, 2012 at an indoor location in East London. It was later reported that the romantic scenes of the film were directed by Chopra's son Aditya Chopra, due to the difference in age between the latter and the lead actors. Later, it was reported that the climax of the film, initially planned by Chopra to be shot in the mountains of Kashmir, was now relocated to Ladakh. This was apparently a suggestion of Khan, whose movie Dil Se.. had been shot in Ladakh as well. According to the fresh report they completed shooting in three cities in Kashmir — Srinagar, Pahalgam & Gulmarg on 6th september 2012.

Marketing

As per reports and usual promotional norms of Yash Raj Films, a teaser trailer was released along with the film release of Ek Tha Tiger as well as through the firm's official YouTube channel on August 15, 2012. The one and half minute trailer showed the glimpse of Yash Chopra's successful yet acclaimed several earlier romantic directorials and then in series highlighted his upcoming film by introducing the lead roles and mentioning music composer with the lyricist of the film.
