A museum dedicated to Yash Raj Films’ all projects on the cards?

There is no denying the fact that Yash Raj Films is the leading production house in Bollywood, which has delivered several iconic films over the years. Established by legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra in 1970, the premier banner is gearing up to celebrate its 50th anniversary in September.

And if reports are to be believed, YRF head honcho Aditya Chopra is planning to announce his plans to build a museum dedicated to all the projects which the famous production house has produced in its glorious journey of 50 years.


Sharing some details, an industry insider tells a publication that if everything goes as per plans, there will be a museum at the earliest in the name of Yash Raj Films. He adds that the whole concept is a part of the 50th year celebrations of the production house, which will take off on the 88th birth anniversary of Yash Chopra next month.

The source also adds that people will have access to experience the legacy of so many classics made by the family banner and that it has been a long-cherished dream of Aditya Chopra to have such a museum.

The museum that is being planned by YRF could be compared to something like the Fox Lot in Los Angeles, which houses a host of things such as costumes, memorabilia, rare posters, pictures, videos, and the entire history of films.

“Considering the fact that Yashji’s films, and also the entire banner, has had a rich history of coming up with some of the most iconic Hindi movies, the museum aims to help fans relive those special moments, never-seen-before history and nostalgia that they have lived with over the years,” adds the insider.

Apart from announcing his plans to build a museum, Aditya Chopra will also raise the curtain on several high-profile projects to commemorate the 50-year celebration of Yash Raj Films, according to reports.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
