Its destiny has taken a full circle because Ayushmann will return to Prayagraj for the shooting of his upcoming film ‘Doctor G’. Reacting to the event the Vicky Donor actor said, “I still remember getting mesmerised by it’s history, heritage and architecture. Prayagraj sees the confluence of three rivers – Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati – and I was deeply enamoured by its breathtaking beauty. I will be shooting again in this beautiful city and I can’t wait to go back,”
He expressed the desire of touring the entire country to which he said, “I have always wanted to travel the length and breadth of our beautiful country and fortunately my work is taking me to incredibly distinct destinations. I will be shooting a film for the first time in Prayagraj. Coincidentally, when I was participating in ‘Roadies’, I rode through this city and shot for the series.”
The return journey to Prayagraj brings back the days when he dreamt of becoming a known face. Becoming slight nostalgic the actors said, “It will bring back a deluge of emotions and nostalgia for me. I will try and find some time to visit the places that I had shot for ‘Roadies’ just to relive my days of struggle and self-belief. It will be amazing to shoot in the city that carved my fortune at the start of my career.”
Doctor G will also start Rakul Preet Singh. The film is directed by Anubhuti Kashyap under the banners of Junglee Pictures.
