Ravi Chopra, the veteran director who passed away at the age of 68 following a prolonged lung ailment, won millions of supporters and admirers with his ability to use his projects to talk about social, ethical and moral issues, quick improvisations and the exceptional skill to set a precedent for others.
The popularity and admiration that Ravi earned goes on to explain that it isn't quantity but quality that counts. Whether it was the epic drama 'Mahabharat' or films like 'The Burning Train' and 'Baghban', he proved that it takes a clear vision and the ability to stick to it to give a memorable experience to viewers. Why do you think his works such as 'Baabul', 'Bhoothnath', really worked? He felt passionately about his projects and succeeded in making his vision work.
Even though several directors remade 'Mahabharath', the original epic drama still holds huge significance and will always be remembered as Ravi's greatest triumph. And one of the key reasons for the lasting impact of Ravi's 'Mahabharat' was the manner in which he blocked, orchestrated and choreographed every scene. He made every scene work, and it only got better with every episode. And acute attention that was paid to actors' body language, movements, dialogues, and outfits helped ach character stand out in their own unique way.
Born in 1946, he belonged to a well-known Bollywood Chopra family. His family has not only produced stars, but also left an indelible impact it with its big budget films. While BR Chopra had founded BR Chopra films, his younger brother Yash owns Yashraj films and produced several blockbusters. His father BR Chopra, and his uncle Yash Chopra gave Bollywood what it needed the most. An interesting mix of romance, action and emotions. Ravi, a cousin of Aditya and Uday Chopra, had worked as an assistant producer of 'Dastaan', which was directed by his father.
