Yash Raj Films (YRF) is India's foremost multi-national movie, media and entertainment conglomerate, established by Yash Chopra, an Indian film director and producer who was considered an entertainment mogul in India. His elder son Aditya Chopra took charge of the studio in 1995 and he started directing, writing & producing multiple movies under the YRF banner.

Yash Chopra started out as an assistant to his elder brother, B.R.Chopra, and went on to direct five films for his brother's banner - B.R.Films - each of which proved to be a significant milestone in his development as a director. These were Dhool Ka Phool (1959), Dharmputra (1961), Waqt (1965), Ittefaq (1969) and Aadmi Aur Insaan (1969). He has wielded the baton, additionally, for 4 films made by other film companies -Joshila (1973), Deewaar (1975), Trishul (1978) and Parampara (1993).

Darr (1993), Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Veer-Zaara (2004) and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) were his latter movies and all of them featured Shah Rukh Khan. Khan has played the lead role in nine movies produced by Yash Raj Films and remains their most illustrious collaborator, most of them directed by Yash Chopra or his son Aditya Chopra.
