MUMBAI: Yash Raj Films’ first release of 2009 will be Kabir Khan’s New York, which will hit theatres on 1 May.

However, the release of the film in multiplexes is subject to the differences being resolved between film producers, distributors and exhibitors over revenue sharing terms. 

Produced by Aditya Chopra, the film stars John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan.

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. New York revolves around three friends whose lives are turned upside down by larger events beyond their control.
