I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the best, visionary film-makers: Ayushmann Khurrana

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who celebrates the second anniversary of Sriram Raghavan’s Andhadhun on Monday, says it ‘has been a huge privilege’ for him to ‘creatively collaborate and learn’ from the filmmaker.

Did you know that this year, with Gulabo Sitabo, Ayushmann Khurrana completed his 15-film journey in Bollywood? The actor, who started his career with Vicky Donor (2012), has really come a long way in terms of his experimental, unconventional film choices as well as back-to-back successes.

Ayushmann Khurrana was recently voted as one of the most influential people in the world by the prestigious Time magazine.

“I feel I’ve been extremely fortunate to work with some of the best, visionary film-makers of our time,” says Khurrana, whose penchant for films that are weaved with progressive, social messages led to a new genre of sorts called ‘Ayushmann Khurrana Genre’. He explains: “As an artiste, I like to experiment, mix it up and push the envelope as well. I may be known for my progressive social entertainers that carries a message but what matters most to me is being a part of the best cinema that is produced by our industry.”

Khurrana, who has delivered eight back-to-back hits in a row, feels Andhadhun pushed him as an artiste, and wishes to work with Raghavan again. “That film gave me the opportunity to do something that I had never done before. I thank Sriram sir for his faith in me and I can’t wait to collaborate with him again, hopefully soon,” he says with a smile.
