Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has become the poster boy of content cinema in India after delivering eight back to back theatrical hits. The star has always selected the best scripts that are being made in the Bollywood industry. However, in the third year of his movie Andhadhun, directed by the veteran film-maker Sriram Raghavan, appreciates the director for choosing him. Later, the outcome was that it became one of the most discussable topics though out the nation.
Meanwhile, Ayushmann quoted, “I naturally gravitate towards edgy and disruptive scripts and Andhadhun was a combination of everything that is fresh, unique, path-breaking. Sriram Raghavan is one of the best directors of our country and I’m fortunate that I got the opportunity to creatively collaborate with him.” He adds, “I surrendered to his vision and his mastery and I’m proud that Andhadhun is part of my filmography. It is a project that made me unlearn and learn a lot. Playing a blind man who plays the piano was not an easy task.”
Moreover, he added, “I couldn’t have done this with authenticity if I didn’t have a visionary person like Sriram sir to handhold me. I have to credit Pooja Ladha Surti (co-writer and editor) for her magic in shaping the film. And I’m thankful to my piano coach Akshayye Varma too.”
Ayushmann felt tough as an artist during the shoot and that propelled him to deliver his best on-screen. As he also quoted, “I’m a total director’s actor and Andhadhun made me a better actor than before. It taught me to always challenge myself as an artist and be a restlessly creative soul. Andhadhun was one of the most fulfilling films creatively for me as it gave me the freedom to express myself freely. So, all credit to Sriram sir for bringing out a side to me that I didn’t think existed and I thank him for choosing me to be a part of his masterpiece.”
