Uday Chopra is one of those few actors who couldn’t make it big in Bollywood despite coming from a filmy background. After few months of sabbatical, Bollywood actor Uday Chopra has made his return to Twitter with lots of tweets about God and why he thinks that praying is an ‘act of mistrust’. One of the Twitter users in response to his tweets brought up his 2005 film Neal ‘n’ Nikki, which was a box office disaster.

Uday wrote in one his tweets, “As a non-believer, I don’t get the idea of asking God for things via prayer. When people pray to ask for things they want, isn’t it an act of mistrust in their god? For if God already has a plan in mind for you, why are you praying to change the plan in the first place?”

A user on Twitter replied to this and wrote, “Hmmm, we consider God as our father. Although he has a plan for us, yet we keep on demanding different things from him and we fully trust our father. Just like when you asked your father to produce Neal ‘n’ Nikki for you, it was not mistrust.”

Uday took a dig at the failure in his reply to the user in which he wrote, “The difference being I never prayed to him or believed he was all-powerful. Hell, he couldn’t even make that film a success so it’s not the same at all.”

Neal ‘n’ Nikki was released in 2005. It was directed by Arjun Sablok and produced by the Chopras’ family banner Yash Raj Films. The film starred Tanisha Mukherjee opposite Uday. It was criticized by critics and did not do well commercially either.
