Upendra was born in a middle class Brahmin family from Kannada. He always wanted to work in film industry and hence he joined veteran director Kashinath as his assistant. After assisting him for a while, he finally made his directorial debut through the Kannada film Tharle Nan Maga in the year 1992. This movie broke various records at the box-office and also achieved a cult following. This film also introduced the legendary comedian Jaggesh.

In 1998, he again broke various box-office records with his venture A. In addition to directing, he also made his acting debut through this film. Not just he won the Best director award but also ended up winning the Best Actor Award in his very first film. He then starred alongside Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon in self titled film Upendra which was a bigger hit than his previous film A.
