He says he is a seeker of good stories. “Stories that move us, entertain us, spark a conversation. I love stories that people can relate to, are inspiring and makes us ponder. I have actively sought such amazing scripts and have been fortunate enough to find some of these brilliant gems in my career so far,” Ayushmann said.

Ayushmann is always on the look out for stories that are unique and are essentially about the incredible common man. “As an actor, I invest deeply into choosing the right script because today the story is all that matters and it is the choice of films that matters.
