"I want to make a documentary but I don't want to do a regular one. I  have spoken to a few people and I want to do something different. I  want somebody who can crack something that will be unique. It is great  to immortalise someone like him," Uday Chopra said.  
"Dad was a filmmaker. If I make a documentary on him it has to be  about films and it should be good enough for people who don't even know  Yash Chopra to watch it and love it. They should feel it is an  interesting documentary. I can do a labour of love in a month's time.  But my intention is not that, I want people to watch it universally and  love it," he said. 
In September this year, as a mark of tribute to the Yash Chopra  on his birth anniversary, nine actresses, who have been a part of his  films, came together to salute the legendary filmmaker. 
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and leading ladies Rekha, Sridevi,  Madhuri Dixit, Rani Mukherji, Juhi Chawla, Preity Zinta, Katrina Kaif,  Anushka Sharma and Parineeti Chopra walked the ramp at YRF studio for a  fashion show.  
"There will be something different every year on his birthday. It  is too early to say what we will do. But we will surely do something to  commemorate him," Uday Chopra said.  
Though its been over a year since Yash Chopra passed away, it has  been very tough for Uday to get over it. "I am still not out of it...  it is a huge loss. It just happened very fast, I was not in town. I came  one day before he passed away. It has taken a long time to come to  terms with it. But I feel he is around me, everything that I am doing  and getting appreciation for the work I am doing in LA, I feel somewhere  he is standing behind me," he said.  
As a father, Yash Chopra used to give advice to Uday. "His advice  had always been to do what my heart desires. He said even if I do  something apart from films, he will support me. But if I choose to make a  career in films then he can help little more. He was like one must take  their own decisions," Uday Chopra said. 
When asked what are the things of his father that he hopes to  follow, Uday said, "His greatest achievement is the relationships he  created, be it with our drivers to peons to our best friends... they all  had the same emotion towards him.  
That was his greatest wealth. He did great work and people liked  him. "They all loved him so much, that is the key to life, to get people  to love and like you. And you will succeed and get work out of people  as they will willingly do work for you," he said. Chopra died on 21  October, 2012.
