Yash Chopra's last directorial work Jab Tak Hai Jaan is set for a grand premiere as a tribute to the late filmmaker. The film releases this Diwali, Nov 13.

The premiere will be held Nov 12, a day before the film's release.

"I want to give my husband an unforgettable farewell. Accordingly, we have decided to have a grand premiere for his ultimate film Jab Tak Hai Jaan exactly the way he wanted it," Yash Chopra's wife Pam Chopra said in a statement.

"This is a fitting tribute to a man who would have had it no other way. I have asked my sons Aditya and Uday to go ahead with all the preparations. This premiere is our way of celebrating his illustrious life, rather than mourning it," she added.

The film features Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

Yash Chopra passed away Oct 21 following multiple organ failure. The 80-year-old was suffering from dengue.
