Aditya Chopra (born 21 May 1971) is an Indian film director, producer, screenwriter and studio executive. He is the Chairman of India's multi-national film, media, and entertainment conglomerate Yash Raj Films (YRF).[1] The films he has produced make him the highest grossing Indian film producer of all time.[2][3]

Having denied Chopra admission into the National School of Drama due to his severe stammering as a young applicant[citation needed], the Film Division of India eventually honored him with the National Award for his achievements in 1995, 2004, 2007 and 2015.[4][5] Widely regarded as the most influential executive in Indian entertainment, Chopra has however rejected the publicity and fame that came with being Yash Chopra's son and the chief executive of Yash Raj Films.[6][7][8]
