Atul spoke at the ongoing 10th Osian’s-Cinefan Film Festival of Asian and Arab cinema. The actor shares screen space with Abhishek Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor and Om Puri in “Dilli 6″, which is based on the director’s growing up years in the Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi.

“Considering the age at which I started doing cinema, I have got good roles. I have worked with most top actors like Aamir Khan and even some of the best directors in Bollywood,” he said. Atul is quite confident that he looks much younger than the three Khans of Bollywood - Shah Rukh, Salman and Aamir - despite being born the same year.
“I was born in 1965 like the three Khans. But I look much younger than them. Isn’t it?” he remarked.
