Their sole hit last year, Chak De India , flanked by a series of flops before and after, Yashraj Films is now rumoured to be returning to sports-based theme.

With their latest film Tashan being thrashed by critics and rejected by audience, Yashraj Films has added to the list of their unsuccessful films since last one-and-half years. Now, the production house is apparently planning to play it safe by making a sports-based movie.

If rumours are to be believed, YRF plans to make a film on women’s cricket team. Though it seems the idea is to cash in on the ‘Chak De’ formula, grapevine has it that the film’s story will be completely different.

Reports say the production house (read Aditya Chopra ) has zeroed down on Rani Mukherjee to play the captain of women’s test cricket team.

Rumour also has it that Aditya Chopra will not direct the film but will rope in someone whom he trusts and deems fit for the job.

Aditya is presently focused on his next directorial venture Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with Shah Rukh Khan in lead role.

Meanwhile, Rani will be seen in the next YRF release Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic opposite Saif Ali Khan .
