The film industry is abuzz with rumours of Yash Raj Films taking on Karan Johar's new entertainment channel with the launch of their own television network. While Yash Raj Films denies any such move or motivation, they do stop short of admitting to be hiding a channel up their sleeves.

A ‘television team' is already in place. "We have a research team headed by Ravina Kohli, which is ideating and exploring various possibilities in the field of television," said CEO at Yash Raj, Sanjeev Kohli.

Word on the street has it the new channel will be launched by the end of 2008. Karan Johar and NDTV, refused to comment on the head-on competition to what was so far the channel's USP — Karan Johar's star power. Meanwhile, the industry is waiting for round 1: Yashraj vs KJo.
