Ayushmann Khurrana has made a name for himself in the film industry with his unique style of films that are often unconventional. Over the course of his more than decade-long career, he has challenged traditional norms and set new standards.
Ayushmann Khurrana credits Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh for inspiring his unconventional film choices; says, “I had no option…”
During a recent session at FCCI FRAMES, Ayushmann spoke about his journey as an unconventional actor and how he redefined the new age hero in Bollywood. He discussed his approach to selecting roles and scripts. He also talked about the challenges he faced in breaking stereotypes and carving out his own niche in the industry. Ayushmann’s success has demonstrated that there is a place for actors who are willing to take risks and push boundaries in Indian cinema.
Ayushmann revealed what caused him to take up unconventional roles in film industry. He said, “I think in every era there has been space for every kind of character, every kind of actor. In the 2010s there was a definite void for an actor who was also a character, especially, around the time Vicky Donor happened (2012). The protagonist was there in an unconventional film which did commercially well. Ranbir Kapoor had just made his debut. At the time there was this void of actors in their 20s as most of them were in their 30s and 40s.”
He added, “When Ranbir made his debut, I was like, ‘Yeah to aa gaya, ab mein kya karunga?’ Then Ranveer Singh came into the industry in 2010/11 and again it made me think…’Yeh bhi aa gaya ab mein kya karunga?’ I had no option but to take the unconventional path and fortunately, it worked for me. I was an anchor on television, and Shoojit Sircar saw something in me (for Vicky Donor). I didn’t even audition for that film, and it all started there.”
Ayushmann also spoke about what is the driving force of his films. He said, “In my films, I am not really obsessed with my own character, I am obsessed with the whole story. I may not be the main driver of the story, the characters around me are also very strong, whether it is Jaideep Ahlawat in An Action Hero, Rajkummar Rao in Bareilly Ki Barfi, Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta in Badhaai Ho or Bhumi Pednekar in Dum Laga Ke Haisha.”
Talking about a genre that he would like to explore, Ayushmann said, “A horror comedy might happen soon. I am excited and yes it will have that quirk in it. It has to be different, otherwise it won’t excite me.”
On the film front, Ayushmann will be seen in the much-awaited Dream Girl 2 which releases on August 25. Starring alongside Ananya Panday in the lead role and directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, Balaji Telefilms, Dream Girl 2 is expected to be a laugh riot.
