The filmmaker confessed that his latest directorial film 'Jab Tak Hain Jaan' [JTHJ] is his last film as a director. "I've always followed my heart and this time it says enough of direction," he said.
Starring his favorite actor - Shah Rukh Khan, Yash Chopra has worked with him in films like 'Darr', 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai', 'Veer Zaara' and latest 'JTHJ'. And every time he works with him, filmmaker Yash Chopra comes up with a series of praises for him.
The latest praise in his favor is Yash Chopra's claim that he never signed SRK for his stardom but for being the gem of the person that he is. "I cast him for his passion for films, and not his stardom."
