Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (transl.It's My Friend's Wedding) is a 2002 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and produced by Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra under the banner Yash Raj Films. The film starred Uday Chopra, Tulip Joshi (in her debut), Jimmy Sheirgill and Bipasha Basu. The film was said to be partly inspired by My Best Friend's Wedding (1997).[3] The director Gadhvi, however, claims that he mainly drew from earlier Hindi films and that My Best Friend's Wedding only provided less than 1% of the inspiration for his film. The film did good business at the box office and was declared a hit.

Production[edit]

The film was originally offered to Amisha Patel. However she refused to do the film because she did not want to work with less successful actors in the beginning of her career after starring in back-to-back blockbusters - Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000) and Gadar: Ek Prem Katha (2001). Surprised and shocked by Amisha's attitude, Yash Raj banner decided not to work with her in any of the films produced under their banner although she did work in at least one Yash Raj production, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (2008).
