He had a lot of passion for movies since his childhood but never considered films as his career. But his fortune was about to take a turn as his performance at the college’s annual party was praised by none other than famous director Roshan Abbas who was sitting at the Chief guest’s chair. Roshan offered him some position in Mumbai which was impossible for Atul to turn down. That's how his Bollywood journey began.

Soon his Bolly network got bigger as Big Magic hired him as an assistant director for a show which was followed by two more offers. Atul sees movie direction as a tricky job where one has to master a lot of technicalities and should be willing to pay attention to details.
