MUMBAI: Yash Raj Films has roped in Nupur Asthana to direct its next feature film.

The film that has newcomers in the lead will be made under the recently formed banner, Y Production. Under this banner, Yash Raj Films will make medium-budget movies with lesser- known names.

Asthana is now in the limelight, with her serial Mahi Way produced by Yash Raj Films and telecast on Sony TV.

Ashthana was supposed to direct a film for UTV Films but the project never took off. She has also written the screenplay of Chain Kulli Ki Main Kulii and Chance Pe Dance.
