In a bold initiative to unearth new cinematic voices, Yash Raj Films has launched the YRF Script Cell, a platform for aspiring screenwriters globally to submit their story ideas.

This move by the production house is seen as fostering content that connects with audiences while maintaining a leading edge in India's dynamic film industry.

A Legacy of Storytelling Meets Innovation

Speaking on the launch, Akshaye Widhani, CEO of Yash Raj Films, said, “YRF has built its legacy on the ability to adapt and stay relevant in a constantly changing environment. We believe it is a creator’s world today, where everyone is a storyteller and content is king.”

He added, “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.”

The Script Cell's launch signifies a new phase in YRF’s 50-year history, focusing on collaboration with creators who might not yet have industry access.

How Writers Can Participate

Writers can submit their story synopses to the YRF Script Cell. If Yash Raj Films finds the concept promising, they may request a full screenplay for further development.

The site is live starting today, opening doors for global storytellers to pitch their ideas and potentially work with some of India’s top directors and creative teams.

“This is our endeavor to discover fresh creators who have a story to tell but lack access to reach us,” Widhani explained.
