Going back to its early days, Yash Raj Films (YRF) has decided to remake hit films made under its banner.

Aditya Chopra has employed a special creative team to look into the past YRF hits and devise a way to remake the films in a new format.

The first film to be remade is the 1973 hit, Daag. The film was the story of a widowed mother who discovers that her husband, a fugitive presumed dead, is actually alive and married to another woman.

While the original version of Daag had Rajesh Khanna, Sharmila Tagore and Rakhee in the lead, the rehashed version will have Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
