Dibaker said he has signed a three-film deal with Yash Raj Films.
"I am still writing the script. So as of now nothing has been decided," he said.
Dibaker, known for making films like "Khosla Ka Ghosla", "Oye Lucky Lucky Oye" and "Love Sex Aur Dhokha", seems quite happy with the association and thinks of it as a promising and exciting venture.
"The main thing about YRF is that they believe in what they do and they are clear about what they want to do. They respect the process of film-making and respect films and this profession. Aditya Chopra and I talked for a long time to discover what we have in common," he added.
