Uday Chopra, born to Yash Chopra in 1973, one of India's biggest and most respectable filmmakers, is also the younger brother of Aditya Chopra ('Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge', 'Mohabbatein').
Uday wanted to be an actor for long and saw his home-production launching him with Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Jimmy Shergill and Jugal Hansraj in 'Mohabbatein', which went on to become a hit. Once again, his family backed him in their production 'Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai' (directed by Sanjay Gadhvi) also starring Jimmy Shergill and new find Tulip Joshi. The movie did moderate business despite competition from the two Bhagat Singh releases that came around at the same time.
Uday's next release was a dud though his performance was sufficiently appreciated - Padam Kumar's 'Supari', co-starring Purab Kohli, Nauheed, Akashdeep Sehgal and Rahul Dev. Uday even made a surprise guest appearance in his home-production 'Mujhse Dosti Karoge' (directed by Kunal Kohli) featuring Hrithik Roshan, Rani Mukherji and Kareena Kapoor.
