Actor Atul Kulkarni, who would next be seen in Hriday Shetty's comedy film, "Chaalis Chaurasi", says working on the genre was challenging for him.

"This is my first comedy film so it was a kind of challenge in itself, but the whole credit goes to director Hriday that he brought out the best in me, " said Atul.

"He has the capability to see actors through the characters that he or she has done, " he added.

The film also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Kay Kay Menon and Ravi Kishan. It is slated to release Jan 13.
