After the announcement that the Bollywood strike ended, Yash Raj Films sent out a press release announcing  its much anticipated release of this year - 'New York'. The film will be in theaters worldwide on June 26th 2009.

'New York' is a contemporary story of friendship set against the larger than life backdrop of a city often described as the centre of the world. For most of us, larger events in the world are just headlines in the newspapers but these events can change our lives... forever. "New York" is one such story of 3 young friends whose beautiful lives are turned upside down by larger events beyond their control.

Directed by Kabir Khan and produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan. Check out the photos from the film below. Give us your thoughts on this upcoming release.
