In recent years, Atul Srivastava has been seen in the role of Salman Khan’s father, Kartik Aryan and Rajkumar Rao. His latest film is Streete-2.
Atul Srivastava, an actor who played the role of Salman Khan’s father, who was only 4 years younger than him. The film was Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman liked her work so much that he gave her work in his next two films.
Atul Srivastava did makeup for Shahrukh Khan for TV show Fauji. The cycle of time was such that after many years he worked with Shahrukh Khan in the film Bhootnath.
Atul, who hails from Lucknow, found himself completely alone during the Covid period. His two younger brothers died fighting the disease. Atul himself was also in bad shape. Anything could have happened. Yet, not only did he beat the disease, but he also appeared in big films one after another. Recently, he was seen in the role of Rajkumar Rao’s father in the film Stree-2.
Today in Success Story, the story of Atul Srivastava.
I had acting talent since my childhood, people asked me to join the orchestra group. I reside in Lucknow. In my childhood, I participated in cultural programs organized on the streets and squares. There he made people laugh with his jokes. However, as a child, I didn’t understand why people laughed and why I made them laugh?
Was in seventh or eighth grade. A gentleman came towards me. He conducted the largest orchestra in Kanpur. He said join our group you will get Rs 75 per day. I told my mother that. Mother immediately scolded. Mother said to study first.
I considered myself a great hockey player, but when I learned the truth, I took a step back and, along with my studies, I also played a lot of hockey. He considered himself a great hockey player. One day I actually went to play among the elderly people. That day I realized how much water I was in. That day, I thought playing hockey wasn’t for me. Only work that entertains people is good. I joined theater during my studies.
Mother said: Do graduation first and other things later, I told my mother that I want to go to Bharatendu Natya Academy. Mother said you have to finish your studies first and then do whatever you need to do. After my graduation, I joined Bharatendu Natya Academy. I succeeded there, I also got a scholarship of Rs 250.
He 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 his childhood. As a child, he went to see movies with his friends. There was no money, but in my mind I was convinced that someone from somewhere had to buy the ticket and give it to me. Only then would someone come along and offer them a ticket at a lower price and leave. Well, it must be a compulsion from the ticket sellers, but Atul felt that he was blessed by Bajrang Bali.
Atul has been doing theater for many years. During this time, he started watching TV shows. In a short span of time, he has become a big name in the television world.
The producer increased Atul’s fees by 4 times. Atul had worked in the television serial Kashmakash. He made a lot less money for this series. When the producer came to know about it, he called Atul. He asked if you were getting less money? At first, Atul hesitated a little, then said yes. After this, the producer increased Atul’s fee by 4 times.
The first film was Munnabhai MBBS, split screen with Sunil Dutt Atul Srivastava played a small role in Sanjay Dutt’s cult classic film Munnabhai MBBS. It was his first film. In the very first film, he shared the screen with a veteran actor like Sunil Dutt. For this film, he received a call from assistant director Rajkumar Hirani. Until then, Atul did not know who Rajkumar Hirani was. When Atul signed the film, Shahrukh Khan was cast in place of Sanjay Dutt. Later he refused and Sanjay Dutt became a finalist.
Salman Khan laughed a lot after seeing the acting of Atul who had played the role of Salman Khan’s father in the film Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Salman laughed a lot and was impressed after seeing their acting. While the casting of Dabangg 3 was underway, Salman called him personally and offered him the role. In Dabangg-3, Atul became the maternal uncle of the film’s actress Saiee Manjrekar.
I suddenly had a lot of father roles. Even though Atul’s role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan was small, the audience really liked this small role. Perhaps this is why he got many fatherly roles in the following years.
He played the role of Karthik Aryan’s father in the film Luka Chuppi. His role was important in this film. Then in both parts of Stree, he played the role of Rajkumar Rao’s father. Stree’s scenes were also cut in both parts.
I saw the worst moment of life in Covid, two brothers died. Atul was shooting for the film. He was getting good roles and visibility in all the films. Then Covid happened. This period was the worst for him. His two younger brothers died. He himself tested positive for Corona and remained in the hospital for several days. His condition had also worsened. However, this did not affect his professional commitments.
The two brothers’ house became deserted, the goods that were there were distributed among the neighbors. Atul’s two brothers lived on rent in the Malad area of Mumbai. After his death, the owner repeatedly asked him to leave the house. Atul didn’t have the courage to go there. He continued to pay the rent like this for a few months. Later, one day, we went to leave the house. People nearby gathered together. Atul gave a closet to someone and clothes to someone. The people of the neighborhood were very fond of Atul’s two brothers. They wanted to keep some of their memories with them. Atul did not disappoint him. He gave everything he asked for.
Friends said to take an auto, Atul was happy to travel by rickshaw. Atul said he didn’t like the world of show-off. He also bought a car only when he deemed it necessary. Atul says, “When I became a little successful, my friends started telling me to buy a car. Even if you buy second-hand. At that time, I traveled by car. Friends said that if you are an actor, if you travel in a car, it will be chaos. I said what’s the point of being a bhaukaal if I don’t know how to act. Later, when I started having problems traveling, I bought a car.
Never asked producers for more money, was happy with what he got. Atul Srivastava is one of those rare actors who values art more than money. He said: “I have never given importance to money in life. He continued to make the film with the amount the producers gave him. I have also worked in many films with budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars, but I received very little money as a result. Regardless of the budget, producers always say they are short of funds.
