Aditya Dhar is a multi-talented Indian filmmaker who has carved his niche in the Hindi film industry. Born on March 12, 1983, in New Delhi, Dhar's journey began not on set, but behind the microphone as a radio jockey. However, his creative vision soon led him to Bollywood, where he initially found success as a lyricist.
Early Career as a Lyricist
Dhar's foray into Bollywood started in 2006 when he penned lyrics for films like "Kabul Express." Over the next decade, he lent his lyrical touch to various movies, including "Haal-e-Dil" (2008), "Daddy Cool" (2009), and "One Two Three" (2018).
Transition to Screenwriting
Dhar's creative ambitions extended beyond lyrics. He transitioned into screenwriting, working on films like "Aakrosh" (2010) and "Tezz" (2012). These experiences honed his storytelling skills and prepared him for his next big step – directing.
Directorial Debut and National Recognition
In 2019, Dhar's directorial debut, "Uri: The Surgical Strike," arrived on the big screen. This high-octane military action film, based on the true events of the 2016 Uri attack, starred Vicky Kaushal, Yami Gautam, and Paresh Rawal. "Uri" was a critical and commercial success, earning over ₹3.5 billion (US$44 million) worldwide and becoming the tenth highest-grossing Indian film domestically.
Dhar's exceptional direction in "Uri" garnered him widespread recognition. He was lauded for his gripping narrative, powerful action sequences, and the film's patriotic spirit. This critical acclaim was further solidified when Dhar received the National Film Award for Best Direction and the Filmfare Award for Best Debut Director for "Uri."
Looking Ahead
Currently, Aditya Dhar is married to actress Yami Gautam (since 2021) and is busy working on his next directorial venture, "The Immortal Ashwatthama," which again features Vicky Kaushal in the lead role. With his talent and dedication, Aditya Dhar is certain to continue making his mark in Indian cinema for years to come.
