Aanand L Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions announces slate of films for 2019

Founded by renowned filmmaker Aanand L Rai, Colour Yellow Productions is one of the most successful moviemaking banners in Bollywood.

The banner, which came into being in 2011, has bankrolled a series of successful films in the past, including Tanu Weds Manu (2011), Raanjhanaa (2013), Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015), Happy Bhag Jayegi (2016) and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017) to name a few.


The production house was doing pretty well until the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Zero (2018) came and put a deep dent in their reputation. However, keeping the failure of Zero aside, Colour Yellow Productions is looking at rolling some interesting projects in 2019.

The banner has confirmed that they will be rolling six films in 2019. “In 2019, we roll with six exciting projects at Colour Yellow Productions. Formal announcements of each project will follow soon,” said a spokesperson.
