He did a graphical revamp of one of Raftaar’s video which got picked by the star himself. When Raftaar was creating his music video ‘Main Wahi Hoon’ He gave Let's VFX the contract for VFX of the music video. While sharing his experience working with Raftaar, Ankit said, "It takes a lot of time to edit a one-minute video, all that scribbling and editing requires a lot of focus and continuous sitting of more than 15 hours a day. Sometimes I even forget to eat food. The issue is that VFX in Bollywood is dead. However, in Hollywood, the music videos are completely based on VFX and I want to bring that to Bollywood. After a long time of practice and a lot of efforts, my work is finally gaining appreciation. One day I got a call from Raftaar Sir and he asked me about work on the VFX for his music video. He gave me a chance and I gave it my best shot.”
Ankit got his first break in Lom Harsh’s Chicken Biryani after that he continued working alongside the director in further projects like Chicken Biryani 2, Main Udna Chahti hu and Chal bandeya.
