Ayushmann Khurrana has been in the Bollywood industry for over a decade.
He made his debut with Vicky Donor but did you know that he had rejected 6 films before making his debut? Let’s find out more.
Ayushmann has always chosen scripts that were content drive and had a social message in them. His roles have always been unusual.
Pinkvilla asked him what made him go for an unusual script like that as his first, the actor replied, “I think the script was beautiful. And I really believed in Shoojit Sircar. I watched his previous films. There was this film called ‘Shoebite’ which never released with Amitabh Bachchan. I saw it in the edit it was beautiful. Also, ‘Yahaan’, another film of his got a National Award. So, I was like ‘I am in credible hands.’ This subject could go haywire if it was with some other director. But Shoojit Sircar was a pioneer. He started doing these films. My career path was set because of Vicky Donor, because that was the first taboo subject I dealt with. And I carried it forward in other films. So, he set the tone right for me, and before that all those six films never saw the light of the day.”
The actor further added that he knew he had to choose the right film as there was nobody to launch him. “Because I always knew as presenter, like somebody who’s asking questions to an actor, I could learn from the mistakes of the other persons. So, I was interviewing a lot of stars who were making good choices, bad choices. And I gauzed that the choice is very important, especially for me, (I knew) that nobody’s going launch me. So, my debut film had to be good or else I won’t get another film. So that’s what I thought about, so I waited and I’m glad Vicky Donor happened.”
