'Yuvvraaj' is a musical story of a fragmented family of three brothers. The trio - Devan Yuvvraaj (Salman Khan), Gyanesh (Anil Kapoor) and Danny (Zayed Khan) - fight and play games with each other to inherit their father's wealth.
The story takes a curve with the coming of Anushka (Katrina Kaif) into the lives of the three brothers. Anushka is a cellist who believes music has much greater power than just to entertain its listeners.
Anushka explain to Devan, Gyanesh and Danny the power of relationships over the power of money by using music to bind the love between them.
Katrina Kaif actually learnt to play a few melodies on the cello for her part in the film. Though she couldn't obviously get a free hand on the instrument (it takes years of practice to do so) she did learn to play the theme melody of 'Yuvvraaj' on the cello.
In 'Yuvvraaj', Salman's character is that of a musician who goes through three phases of transformation in life. In the first phase, Salman is a young musician dressed in jackets and jeans. Then he becomes a rebel. In the third phase, Salman's character matures and mellows down.
