The hunt for a new girl is on for the film, to be produced by Yash Chopra and written by Aditya.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi will go on the floors in May and is scheduled to hit the screens by the year-end.

Aditya gave one of the most successful love stories to Bollywood in his directorial debut Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. This Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol starrer continues its record breaking run in its 13th year at Mumabi's Maratha Mandir.

However, he wasn't lucky the second time. His Mohabbatein (2008), with big names like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai, turned turtle at the box office.

After that, Aditya took a conscious break from direction to set up and develop India's first studio model making Yash Raj Films a name to reckon with. In the years that followed, YRF, under the keen eyes of Aditya, produced such blockbusters as Dhoom, Dhoom 2, HumTum, BuntyAurBabli, SalaamNamaste, Fanaa and Chak! DeIndia.

Hopefully, he will recreate the magic of his first film with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
