When the making aired, we got tons of wishes and it was a huge validation for trying to do something new for audiences. The channel made a special show out of the exclusive content that was shared with them. Uday says, “We were the first film whose behind the scenes footage was telecast on Doordarshan. Thus, total collections stood at 102.50 crores worldwide in 1995.
The film was made at a budget of 4 crores and the blockbuster, in 1995, collected 89 crores in India, 13.50 crore in overseas markets. DDLJ was the first film that started a trend which is now popularly called behind-the-scenes, though back then we just called it 'the making'.” DDLJ is a winner of record-breaking (at the time) 10 Filmfare Awards and the film literally changed the face of Bollywood globally. "The advantage, which I later discovered was that all the artists were very comfortable with me being right in their faces and this made for some really interesting and intimate shots, which helped the BTS footage tremendously. So, apart from being an assistant on the set I also became the videographer for the BTS footage.” Uday added, “I remember I would literally have a camera in one hand and the clap in the other, with a utility belt to keep all the batteries, charging cables and spare parts I was quite a sight on set." The first thing we needed was lots of footage on set and back then S-VHS was kind of the only viable option to do it. Having just returned from film school in California, I decided this would be a great opportunity to try my hand at another aspect of film-making.

Uday Chopra, who directed the making of the film, revealed in a media statement, “Adi wanted to do something that no one had ever done before in India with DDLJ.
