Though Mullan is known as a percussionist, he was classically trained in the piano and the accordion while growing up in Kolkata.^[4] In Kolkata, Mullan was acquainted with musical director and singer Pankaj Mullick, who offered him a role as a percussionist in Bengali film productions^{[citation needed]}.
