After working on Bareily Ki Barfi (2017) and Badhaai Ho (2018), Ayushmann Khurana and Junglee Pictures are coming together for a new project called ‘Doctor G’. The film is a campus comedy-drama with Aysuhmann playing the lead role of a doctor. Anubhuti Kashyap who has co-written for the film will be taking up the role of the director. She has previously worked on Afsos – an Amazon Prime series and acclaimed short film, ‘Moi Maarjani’ and will be making her feature debut with this film.
Talking about the film, Ayushmann shares, “Doctor G is a script that I fell in love with instantly because it is super fresh. It is an extremely unique and innovative concept that will make you laugh and also make you ponder. I’m excited to don the doctor’s coat for the first time in my career and also deliver a message in the process that will hopefully speak directly to your hearts.”
Anubhuti who will be taking the role of the director shares, “I am stepping into my filmmaking journey with all my passion and this project has me thrilled to be on sets. I am looking forward to working with Junglee Pictures and the ever so versatile & talented Ayushmann. This film is definitely exciting because it appeals to both the younger & the family audiences equally.”
Ayushmann’s previous collaborations with Junglee Pictures were a huge hit. Badhaai Ho won two National Awards while Bareily Ki Barfi was a film that was welcomed by the audience and critics. The film is written by Sumit Saxena, Vishal Wagh and Saurabh Bharat, who interestingly is a doctor-turned-writer and has drawn inspiration from his medical college life experiences. Saxena, who has written films like ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ and Karan Johar’s ‘Lust Stories’, has also penned the dialogues of this film.
