Well-versed with the mechanics of film-making as well as blessed with a strong business acumen, Aditya took charge of the production side with terrific enthusiasm.

His ability to please the desi as well as overseas crowd with a clever selection of universal subjects and trendy treatment made big bucks and considerably aided in setting the Yash Raj distribution network as well as state-of-art studio.

If Dhoom (which he has developed into a successful franchise) pleased the masses, the NRI audience ooh-aahed over Mujhse Dosti Karoge and Hum Tum. The story-writer in him thrived through films like Veer-Zaara, Bunty Aur Babli, Dhoom 2 and Madhuri Dixit's comeback vehicle, Aaja Nachle.

Not just happy taking care of the economics and introducing fresh directing talent (Kunal Kohli, Sanjay Gadhvi, Siddharth Anand, Vijay Krishna Acharya), Aditya is known to supervise the look of his films and actors with keen interest. Be it Ash's makeover from sexy to smouldering in Dhoom 2 or Kareena Kapoor's too thin to be true avatar in Tashan.
