Agnihotri began his career in Bollywood as a child artist at the age of 13 with Basu Chatterjee PASAND APNI APNI (1983). The film had Mithun Chakraborty in the main lead, Atul cousin sister Rati Agnihotri was in the female lead alongside Utpal Dutt.
As an adult, Atul Agnihotri started his career with Mukesh Bhatt film SIR (1993). SIR (1993) is one of the better Bollywood films directed by Bhatt. Naseeruddin Shah and Pooja Bhatt have played the other two lead characters in the film. Atul played role of Karan, a young boy in the film.

Atul next film Krantiveer (1994) released just after a month Aatish (1994) was released. It is one of his most successful films. Though Nana Patekar was the main lead in the film, Atul contribution as a supporting actor in the film was worth appreciating.
Directed and produced by Mehul Kumar, the film story was based on the sociopolitical issue. Nana played a role of an unemployed, lazy man Pratap Narayan Tilak. Atul played the character of Atul Dayal son of a slum landlord Laxmidas Dayal (Paresh Rawal). Dimple Kapadia played a role of a famous journalist Meghna Dixit.
After the success of Krantiveer (1994), director Mahesh Bhatt signed him for his next film Naaraaz (1994), which was released on 19 August 1994. It was Atul last film of the year. In Naaraaz (1994) Atul played a role of a wealthy author Ajay Pandit.
Mithun Chakraborty, Gulshan Grover, Pooja Bhatt and Sonali Bendre were the other leads in the film. Atul Agnihotri produced and directed Hello (2008). Dil ne jise apna kaha (2004) was written and directed by him. dil ne jise apna kaha (2004) was Atul debut film as the director.
HELLO (2008) was based on Chetan Bhagat fiction novel One Night at the Call Center. Actors like Sharman Joshi, Gul Panag, Sohail Khan, Isha Koppikar, Amrita Arora and Sharat Saxena in the lead roles in Hello (2008). Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif also gave a guest appearance as themselves in the film.
The story is about few youngsters working in call center. The film was a failure at the Box Office. DIL NE JISE APNA KAHA (2004) had actors like Salman Khan (as Rishabh), Preity Zinta (as Dr. Parineeta), Bhoomika Chawla (as Dhani), Rati Agnihotri (as Dr. Shashi Rawat), Helen (as Dhani grandmother) and Renuka Shahane (as Rishabh Sister). It is story of a lovely couple Rishabh and Parineeta who love each other a lot and Dhani, who is patient.
The story was simple, so could not do well at the box office. my love story is Atul upcoming Bollywood romantic action film that will be directed by Siddique. The film is a remake of the Malayalam film Bodyguard (2010), which was also directed by Siddique.
The film is being produced by Atul Agnihotri and features Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead role. Pritam will compose the music of the film. The film is scheduled for a 2011.
