Aditya Chopra Net Worth $30 Million

Aditya was born the elder son of veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra and his wife Pamela. Influenced by his father’s career, his interest in film started from an early age. Aditya started his schooling at the Bombay Scottish School, and he eventually graduated from Hassaram Rijhumal College of Commerce and Economics. However, he began his career as an assistant to his father in “Chandni”, “Lamhe(Moments)” and “Darr(Fear)”, and directed his first film, the multipl-awarded “The Brave-Hearted Will Take Away the Bride”, at the age of 23. The film was released in October 1995 and, apart from directing it, Aditya was the writer of its story, screenplay and dialogue; it became the longest running film in the history of Indian cinema, as it completed 1000 weeks at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir Cinema.

In 2004 Chopra tried his luck as a producer, and created “Hum Tum” and “Dhoom(Blast)”, which both gained notable success and earned several awards. The same year, he co-produced and wrote the story, screenplay and dialogue of “Veer-Zaara(Veer and Zaara), which turned out to be the biggest grossing film of the year. His net worth was growing well!

As a producer, creative head and chairman of Yash Raj Films, he has launched numerous successful directors over the years, and continues to do so.

When it comes to his more recent activity, in September 2015 YRF movie company announced that Chopra’s new film “Befikre” was on the way, and the film was released in December 2016. Chopra has now been involved in at least one way with more than 75 films.
