Produced and directed by Subhash Ghai, 'Yuvvraaj' is musical story of fragmented family of three brothers - Deven Yuvvraaj, played by Salman Khan, Gyanesh Yuvvraaj played by Anil Kapoor and Danny Yuvvraaj, played by Zyed Khan - who are fighting and playing games with each other to inherit their father's wealth.

Music for the film is composed by none other than, A.R. Rahman, Ghai's favorite. The film was released on November 21.

According to Ghai, the film is about the arrogance and overconfidence of contemporary youth.

"Everyone wants to be a rock star, regardless of whether they have the morals to go with the appellation."

The story takes a curve, when Deven's girlfriend Anoushka, played by Katrina Kaif, comes in to explain to them the power of relationships over the power of money by using music to bind the love between them.

Deven Yuvvraaj is a happy-go-lucky person for whom life begins with himself and ends with his love Anoushka, a beautiful, angelic girl passionately in love with her violin and Deven.
