Yash Raj Films (YRF), one of the leading production houses in Bollywood, has introduced a new initiative called YRF Script Cell to provide aspiring screenwriters with direct access to the Hindi film industry. The announcement was made on YRF’s social media channels, inviting writers to submit registered synopses of their story ideas. If a concept is found promising, the YRF team may then request a complete screenplay for further development. This initiative specifically targets writers with great concepts who may not have the industry connections to reach established filmmakers. In their promotional post, YRF stated, “The YRF Script Cell is a call to all writers aspiring to build a career in the Hindi film industry!
We want to find the next generation of thinkers who can bring us innovative and compelling ideas that will hopefully define the future of cinema.” Akshaye Widhani, CEO of Yash Raj Films, highlighted the importance of “disruptive and truly fresh scripts” as essential elements in the cinematic landscape. He noted that while YRF has a legacy built on adaptation and staying relevant, this new initiative acknowledges that content is king and that creators need nurturing. Over the years, YRF has served as a launchpad for numerous successful filmmakers and screenwriters, including Kunal Kohli, Kabir Khan, Jaideep Sahni, Siddharth Anand, and Maneesh Sharma. Writers interested in this opportunity can visit scripts.yashrajfilms.com to register their synopsis and submit their stories.
If selected, the production house may then request a full screenplay for consideration.
