ATUL ARORA, Los Angeles resident and comfortable making films on all kinds of genre; especially on human relationship will be teaming up with multiple-award winning Indian actress and filmmaker KANGANA RANAUT for a magnum dream opus.

Speaking about the development director Atul Arora reveals, “The subject is woman-oriented and for Kangana ji it is a tailor made character. I have been informed that ad-filmmaker Pratik who has written the film has narrated the script to Kangana Ji and her sister Rangoli ji (who handles her business affairs too). They have immensely liked it and that the talented actress may give her nod to work with me.  If Kangana ji agrees and  finalise this project then I feel it will be a blessing in disguise for me.”

 Atul Arora is a die-hard fan of Hollywood’s two different creative directors – the insightful Christopher Nolan and the energetic Quentin Tarantino who loves cinema in its purest form. While from Bollywood he is impressed with the grand story-teller Sanjay Leela Bhansali and dynamic Nagesh Kukunoor that inspires and adds fuel to his creative urge.
