'New York' promo to unveil with RNBDJ

After the worldwide critical success of Kabul Express and fresh from his National Award as the Best Debutant Director, Kabir Khan is expanding his canvas for Yash Raj Films with his next film, titled, New York. The film has an exciting star cast of John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan and the music is composed by Pritam.

What's more? New York will be the first release of 2009 from the Yash Raj Films and is bound to attract even more attention.

New York is a contemporary story of friendship set against the larger than life backdrop of a city, often described as the centre of the world. For most of us, larger events in the world are just headlines in the newspapers but these events can change our lives forever. New York is one such story of 3 young friends whose beautiful lives are turned upside down by larger events beyond their control.

In fact, the buzz for New York is going to start on December 12, when the trailer of New York will be unveiled with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

Yash Raj Films' New York is being shot in Philadelphia

Residents of Philadelphia were in for a surprise last weekend when they saw helicopters with FBI written across them zooming above the PNC Bank Building. What's more there were even quite a few SWAT officers who made a dramatic entry, suspending themselves from the aircraft carrying rifles. Just as localites began to worry if there was a panic situation on hand, did they see a film crew with cameras et al shooting this whole scenario.

This was not any hostage attack or terrorist threat but the shooting of Yash Raj Films' upcoming project New York (working title) which was in progress in the busy and central area of Philadelphia. The film's stars, namely John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh, were present as the crew along with director Kabir Khan filmed some action scenes in and around the PNC Bank Building. While New York has been quite a prominent feature of many a Bollywood films, this was a relatively new experience for the residents of Philadelphia who after initially getting a trifle scared seemed to enjoy the most of this Bollywood film shoot.
