HERE TO STAY
Why fit in when you were born to stand out? Ayushmann Khurrana understood this early in his career. What was initially adopted as a survival tool, has now become a #careergoal for the actor. The outsider opted for the path less frequented to avoid getting lost in the melee. An unobvious rebel, he chose off-kilter subjects like sperm donation, erectile dysfunction, fat shaming, sexuality of middle-aged parents, virtual romance and recently the bane of baldness. In his characters, people find a resonance of their unspoken and unsolved riddles. With the jubilation of Bala behind him, the actor looks forward to a riveting 2020 with Gulabo Sitabo and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan… The Ayushmann juggernaut is unstoppable…
IS THIS THE BEST PHASE OF YOUR CAREER?
Last year, I felt I was in the best phase. This year I could sense it would be a blockbuster. At the same time, people had never seen me in a slapstick comedy. I’ve always done subtle roles. But this time round, I was loud and OTT. Of course, masses love these kinds of films. Each time I attempt something different, I’m apprehensive. Where was concerned, I was confident. It had a solid script. It’s middle-of-the road cinema, which is entertaining.
