Atul Kulkarni is a name to reckon with not just in Marathi cinema but in Bollywood films too. With hard hitting performances in films like Chandni Bar, Satta, etc he has gained a strong fan following. In Marathi cinema, his films like Natarang, Happy Journey and Premachi Goshta, among others have made him a household name. The super talented actor however has been away from Marathi movies for the last 7 years. 

 

Atul was last seen in Sachin Kundalkar's Rajwade and Sons. Speaking about his absence from the limelight Kulkarni said, “It’s not a conscious decision. There was a time when I had back-to-back Marathi releases – Popat, Premachi Goshta and Happy Journey. Before that there was a gap too. Like I said, I choose projects based on the story and roles. And I haven’t had an interesting story or role coming to me for a Marathi film. When that happens, I’ll do the film.”
