Aditya Chopra, the eldest son of the doyen of film industry Yash Chopra, achieved a remarkable feat with his debut film 'DDLJ' which got unprecedented success and was warmly received by masses.
Adi took with surprising equanimity the success that could have captivated anyone.
The Chopra's next blockbuster 'Dil To Pagal Hai', which Aditya scripted, proved that his magic with pen was not just a fluke. The man was worth his salt. His films are not just mushy tales of boy-meets-girl, or a jilted lover brooding over unrequited love, but sagas that reek with sensitive emotions and subtle drama.
Now, five years after his directorial debut, Adi is making his second coming with a megastarrer 'Mohabbatein' which is expected to hit the theatres around Diwali.
Besides serving as a launching pad for a host of newcomers like Jimmy Shergill, Shamita Shetty, Kim Sharma, Preeti Jhangiani, Jugal Hansraj and Adi's younger brother Uday Chopra, the film has Shah Rukh, Aishwarya, Amitabh and Anupam Kher in the lead roles.
It is believed that in 'Mohabbatein' Aditya has woven together 3 parallel love stories all of which culminate into one. Besides the movie is also the tale of two iron-willed stubborn men one of whom (Shahrukh) believes in love and the other one (Amitabh) doesn't.
Those within the working radius of Aditya claim that he is a perfect director who has a command over every aspect of filmmaking.
Although it is still some time when movie hits the turnstiles, people have started showering adulation's on this young director. As for Aditya, he is reticent. He would rather let his work speak on his behalf.
He has justified the famous maxim 'like father like son' by walking the road his dad strode years ago. And, even though his lineage could have spoken loudly for his credentials this young lad set out to make a place for himself.
