Prem Chopra

Biography

Prem Chopra is an actor known for his work in Hindi and Punjabi cinema. Born in Lahore and raised in Shimla, he studied arts at Punjab University and took part in the city's theater movement before moving to Bombay in the early 1960s. He worked at the Times of India while trying to break into films, and made his Bollywood debut in Mud Mud Ke Na Dekh (1960). A role in the Punjabi film Chaudhary Karnail Singh, which won a National Award, brought him attention. After the hit Shaheed (1964) and films such as Teesri Manzil and Upkar, he became a leading villain, a position he held from 1967 to 1991. He later shifted to positive character roles, appearing in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke (2001), Koi... Mil Gaya (2003), Dhamaal (2007), Delhi-6 (2009), and Daddy Cool: Join the Fun (2009).
