Filmmaker Yash Chopra admitted to hospital

Legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra has been admitted to Lilavati hospital in suburban Bandra here, hospital sources said Sunday.

"He has been admitted to hospital," the sources said without disclosing as to when and for what reason the veteran filmmaker has been admitted.

The 80-year-old filmmaker had announced his retirement from film direction last month.

He is looking forward to the release of his latest directorial venture 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' that stars Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in the lead.

The film is set to hit the screens on November 13.

Chopra has given several hits in his more than five decade old career like 'Deewar', 'Kabhie Kabhie', 'Trishul', 'Silsila', 'Chandni', 'Veer Zaara'.
