MUMBAI: In a tie that promises to be its long time strategy, Yash Raj Films has announced a three film co-production deal with Dibakar Banerjee Productions.

Banerjee said, "This is new, promising and exciting. Adi and I have different and individualistic creative visions while sharing a tremendous synergy in our ambition to take Indian cinema to new milestones at home and abroad. We decided to embark on this venture almost immediately after our very first meeting."

"I respect quality, consistency and true professionalism. YRF stands for that. Given my style of film making and YRF‘s tremendous presence, reach and experience, this association will merge our respective expertise to create really trendsetting yet entertaining content for a really wide audience. I see tremendous potential in Adi‘s concerted plans for getting into co-production agreements with diverse, like-minded filmmakers," he adds.

While specifics of the slate are still being decided, the arrangement entails that two of the films will be directed by Dibakar and the third by his long-time associate and the writer of the path-breaking Love Sex Aur Dhokha, Kanu Behl.
