On the work front, Atlee debuted in the Tamil film industry with Raja Rani after assisting director Shankar. His filmography includes Theri, Mersal and Bigil with Thalapathy Vijay, followed by his Bollywood debut with Jawan starring Shah Rukh Khan. He then turned producer in Hindi cinema with Varun Dhawan's Baby John. However, the film flopped at the box office.

Currently, Atlee is working on Raaka, a big-budget sci-fi entertainer with Allu Arjun and Deepika Padukone in lead roles.
