Career
Aditya's career began at the age of 21, when he began producing many of the films directed by his father. In 1997, he also won the National Award for the best film for Mungarina Minchu. Later, he joined the acting course at Kishore Namith Kapoor Acting School and there he trained to act in films. Soon after this, he started acting in films. Even before his Kannada debut, he acted in the Hindi remake of the popular Kannada movie A. K. 47, with the same title.[2]
His debut in Kannada was with the 2004-released Love, which had an ensemble cast including Mohanlal, Rakshita and Amrish Puri, directed by his father and with music composed by Bollywood composer Anu Malik. The much hyped film failed at the box office. It was the 2005 released Deadly Soma that gained Aditya fame. He played the lead protagonist in the film and earned critical acclaim.[3]
