Film careerEdit
As a directorEdit
Upendra assisted filmmaker Kashinath in various departments apart from assisting in writing songs, dialogues, and screenplay for his films. He co-directed a film with Kashinath.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Upendra started as a director with a typical Kashinath style comedy called Tharle Nan Maga in 1992. The film introduced famed comedian Jaggesh. It went on to be a success and has since achieved a cult following.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Upendra directed a horror suspense thriller next called Shhh! in 1993. The film featured Kashinath and a young producer and actor, Kumar Govind. The film was a major box office success, and Upendra came out as an independent director.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Upendra's next film was a crime drama titled Om, (1995), which he wrote after being inspired by a real incident in the 1980s. Shiva Rajkumar played a gangster, Sathya, alongside other real-life gangsters who appeared in cameos. Prema played the female lead. The film's unique story-telling in the form of multiple flashback sequences supporting the plotline won critical praise and was also a major commercial success. This film too went on to attain cult status among Kannada audiences.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Upendra turned towards a project to direct an extended version of the 1981 film Antha and called it Operation Antha. The film had Ambareesh reprise his role from Antha as both Sushil Kumar and Kanwar Lal. The film was not very successful; it was also controversial for its taunts on some real-life political figures.<ref name=sandalwoodking>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
In 1997, Upendra directed A, through which he made a successful transition to acting.<ref name=sandalwoodking/> The film is about a love affair between a film director and an actress, in which the actress rejects the director, causing him to become an alcoholic. It further led to the discovery of conspiracies on a reshoot by the director, who vowed revenge.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> There were rumors that it was Upendra's own story, and the actress in the film portrayed his protege Prema. This added to the film's popularity and it broke many box office records upon release and went on to become one of the highest grossing Kannada films of its time.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The film had a 175-day run in Karnataka<ref name="sandalwoodking" /> was also dubbed to Telugu, and repeated its success in Andhra Pradesh too, where it had a 100-day run.<ref name="gandhadagudi1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The film won accolades from Bollywood personalities like Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Kapoor.<ref name="sandalwoodking" /> Upendra was now a big name in Kannada cinema and was also popular in Andhra Pradesh.<ref name="sandalwoodking" /><ref name="ourkarnataka1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In 1999, Upendra made a self-titled film, Upendra. Upendra acted in this film as the unnamed protagonist (or antagonist) Naanu (I or Myself). The film starred three heroines: Damini, Prema, and Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon. Naanu was an arrogant character and was very demeaning towards women, bordering on misogyny; which led to a lot of criticism on the film.<ref name=sandalwoodking/> However, the film broke many box office records and went on to be a much bigger hit than A in both Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.<ref name=sandalwoodking/> The film had a 200-day run in Karnataka,<ref name=gandhadagudi2>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and its Telugu version had a 100-day run in Andhra Pradesh.<ref name=gandhadagudi1/> Upendra was now not only a remarkably successful director, but also a big star with a large fan base in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.<ref name=sandalwoodking/><ref name=ourkarnataka1/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Since then, Upendra gave up directing and concentrated more on his acting career.

There is hardly anyone in Indian Cinema, who would think like him. Only he can think like that. I like watching Upendra's films, and this was no exception.
