Ayushmann Khurrana: Working With Mr Bachchan Is A Dream Come true

Ayushmann Khurrana has  just completed a schedule  of Shoojit Sircar’s  Gulabo Sitabo with  the formidable Amitabh Bachchan as  his co-star.

And Ayushmann just can’t  get over the experience. “It  was  a moment that I  had waited for . He is my idol from the time I remember. I   grew  up watching his films, idolizing him. And  now I  finally got to work  with him. It  was  an experience hard to  put  into words.”

 Ayushmann has many reasons to admire  Mr B. “The way he has adapted himself to the changing trends, re-invented  himself as an actor  …it’s what I’d  strive for in my career.”

 Gulabo Sitabo  is  a happy homecoming  for Ayushmann.  “I started  my  career with my mentor (director) ShoojitSircar and (writer) Juhi Chaturvedi in Vicky  Donor. It  has been a  long  while since  Vicky Donor happened. But we wanted to find the  right  project to come together again.And Gulabo Sitabo  is  the project that finally seemed the right one  after  Vicky Donor.”

What kind of a  film is  Gulabo Sitabo?

“It is relevant to our times. I  guess that’s  going to  be a constant factor in my films,”  says Ayushmann.
