One of India's most successful film producer-directors, the legend that is Yash Chopra, will return to Australia to shoot his forthcoming film.

According to the Indian Post, Swish Black Cat Films, an Australian production house, will handle the entire production of Chak de India in Melbourne and Sydney.

Previously, Swish Black Cat Films carried out production of the Yash Raj film Salaam|Namaste which, incidentally, was the first Indian film to be shot entirely on location in Australia.

The success of Salaam|Namaste triggered an Aussie fever among Indian tourists. Following the films release, they swamped the capital of Victoria state.

Megastar Shah Rukh Khan will be in the lead role for Chak de India and will be directed by Shmit Amin.

The Australian film production company expects the Indian contract to generate revenue of approximately $1.6 million and expects to attract a worldwide audience of 300 million, the paper reported.
