<br />
==Background==<br />
Mirza was born the son of bollywood script-writer [[Akhtar Mirza]]. He is a brother of the film maker [[Saeed Akhtar Mirza|Saeed Mirza]] (of ''[[Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro]]'' and ''[[Naseem (film)|Naseem]]'' fame)<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Mirza started his career in 1985 when he joined his brother [[Saeed Mirza]] and veteran director [[Kundan Shah]] to set a new production company called ''Iskra''. He made his directional debut with the 1989 television serial ''[[Circus (TV series)|Circus]]'' starring [[Ashutosh Gowariker]] and [[Shah Rukh Khan|Shahrukh Khan]], who was a newcomer actor at the time. Since then, he has collaborated with [[Shah Rukh Khan|Shahrukh Khan]] and [[Juhi Chawla]] in every alternate project in his career.<br />
<br />
He made his film debut with ''[[Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman]]'' (1992) starring Khan and Chawla. The movie was inspired by [[Raj Kapoor]]'s classic comedy ''[[Shree 420]]'' (1955). His next project, ''[[Yes Boss (film)|Yes Boss]]'' (1997) starring [[Aditya Pancholi]], [[Shah Rukh Khan]] and [[Juhi Chawla]] did fairly well at the box office.<br />
<br />
In 1999, Mirza set up a production company called ''[[Dreamz Unlimited]]'' with [[Juhi Chawla]] and [[Shah Rukh Khan|Shahrukh Khan]]. Their first movie ''[[Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani]]'' (2000) was directed by Mirza. In 2003 Mirza directed the third film out of ''[[Dreamz Unlimited]]'', ''[[Chalte Chalte (2003 film)|Chalte Chalte]]'' starring Khan and [[Rani Mukerji]] in lead roles. The film was the first box office hit from this production house. After this he took a hiatus from film directing due to the death of his wife. In 2007, Mirza returned to directing and has released his next film titled ''[[Kismat Konnection]]'' which became a flop in 2008 and boasted of stars like [[Shahid Kapoor]] and [[Vidya Balan]] in lead roles.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Aziz-Mirzas-chilling-out/articleshow/3274781.cms|title=Aziz Mirza's chilling out!|work=The Times of India}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/aziz-mirza-dumps-shah-rukh-for-next-film/story-819WvAB9yKuwvxM6ebuDmI.html|title=Aziz Mirza 'dumps' Shah Rukh for next film|work=hindustantimes.com/}}</ref><br />
