Had the talent of acting since childhood, people used to ask me to join the orchestra group. I am a resident of Lucknow. In my childhood, I used to participate in cultural programs held on the streets and squares there. There he used to make people laugh with his jokes. Although in childhood I could not understand why people were laughing and why I was making them laugh?
Was in seventh or eighth grade. A gentleman came to me. He ran the biggest orchestra of Kanpur. He said, join our group, you will get Rs 75 per day. I told this to my mother. Mother immediately scolded. Mother said to study first.
He considered himself a great hockey player, but when he came to know the truth he retreated. Along with studies, I also played hockey a lot. He considered himself a great hockey player. One day I actually went to play among the older people. That day I realized how much water I was in. That day I thought that playing hockey was not for me. Only work that entertains people is good. I joined theater while in school.
Mother said- do graduation first and other things later Meanwhile, I told my mother that I want to go to Bharatendu Natya Academy. Mother said that first complete your graduation and then do whatever you have to do. After completing graduation, I joined Bharatendu Natya Academy. I topped there, I also got a scholarship of Rs 250.
Used to persuade Hanuman ji to get the ticket, someone even brought it and gave it to him. Atul Srivastava is a great devotee of Hanuman ji since childhood. In his childhood, he used to go to watch movies with his friends. We didn't have any money, but we were convinced in our minds that someone from somewhere would buy us a ticket and give it to us. Only then would someone actually come and give them a ticket at a lower price and go away. Well, this must be some compulsion of the ticket sellers, but Atul felt that he had been blessed by Bajrang Bali.
Atul did theater for many years. Meanwhile, he started getting TV shows. Within no time he became a big name in the TV world.
Producer increased Atul's fees 4 times Atul had worked in the TV serial Kashmakash. He was getting very less money for this serial. When the producer came to know about it, he called Atul. He asked whether you are getting less money? At first Atul hesitated a little, then said yes. After this the producer increased Atul's fees by 4 times.
First film was Munnabhai MBBS, shared screen with Sunil Dutt Atul Srivastava did a small role in Sanjay Dutt's cult classic film Munnabhai MBBS. This was his first film. In the very first film, he shared the screen with veteran actor like Sunil Dutt. For this film, he got a call from the assistant of director Rajkumar Hirani. Atul will know by then
Didn't know who Rajkumar Hirani is. When Atul signed the film, Shahrukh Khan was cast in place of Sanjay Dutt. Later he refused and Sanjay Dutt became the finalist.
Salman Khan laughed a lot after seeing Atul's acting Atul played the role of Salman Khan's father in the film Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman laughed a lot and was impressed after seeing their acting. When the casting of Dabangg 3 was going on, Salman called him personally and offered him the role. In Dabangg-3, Atul became the maternal uncle of the film's actress Saiee Manjrekar.
suddenly got a lot of father roles Even though Atul's role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan was small, the audience liked that small role very much. Perhaps for this reason he got many fatherly roles in the next few years.
He played the role of Karthik Aryan's father in the film Luka Chuppi. His role was big in this film. Then in both the parts of Stree, he played the role of Rajkumar Rao's father. Stree's scenes were also cut in both the parts.
Saw the worst moment of life in Covid, two brothers passed away. The film was being shot on Atul film. He was getting good roles and exposure in all the films. Then Covid came. This period was the worst for him. His two younger brothers passed away. He himself was Corona positive and stayed in the hospital for many days. His condition had also worsened. However, this did not affect his professional commitment.
The house of both brothers became deserted, the goods lying there were distributed among the neighbors. Both Atul's brothers lived on rent in Malad area of Mumbai. After his death, the landlord repeatedly asked him to vacate the house. Atul did not have the courage to go there. He continued paying the rent like this for some months. Later one day we went to vacate the house. People nearby gathered. Atul gave cupboard to someone and clothes to someone. The people of the neighborhood loved both Atul's brothers very much. They wanted to keep some of their mementoes with them. Atul did not disappoint him. He gave whatever he asked for.
Friends used to say take a car, Atul was happy traveling in a rickshaw. Atul said that he does not like the world of show off. He also bought a car only when he felt it was necessary. Atul says, 'When I became a little successful, my friends started telling me to buy a car. Even if you buy second hand. I used to commute by auto at that time. Friends used to say that you are an actor, there will be chaos if you travel by car. I said what is the use of being a bhaukaal if I don't know how to act. Later, when I started having issues while travelling, I bought a car.
Never demanded more money from producers, happy with whatever I got Atul Srivastava is one of those rare actors who give more importance to art than money. He said, 'I never gave importance to money in life. He kept doing the film with whatever amount the producers gave him. I have also worked in many films whose budget was in hundreds of crores, but I got very little money accordingly. No matter what the budget is, producers always say that they are short of funds.
