Ayushmann Khurrana's association with making films on taboo subjects has been a long and strong one. From erectile dysfunction in Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017), to sperm donation in his very first film Vicky Donor (2012), he has tackled a lot of them, and the projects yielded good box-office results, too.

Now, though, he's in a very different headspace, one where he wants to focus only on subjects which cater to wider audiences. Speaking on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, he was asked which taboo subject would he want to take on for an upcoming film. He said, “I think maine saare taboo topics khatam kar diye hain (laughs) I have worked in so many films based on them. It limits the family audience. I did films on taboo subjects before the Covid pandemic. Even after that, I did Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui and Doctor G, which didn’t get as much at the box office as I hoped for.”
