Dream Girl 2 star Ayushmann Khurrana on corporate bookings to compete with other films
Speaking with Pinkvilla, Ayushmann Khurrana, the actor of Dream Girl 2, shared his perspective on whether there were talks about utilizing corporate bookings to compete with films like Gadar 2, OMG 2, and Jawan. In his response, Ayushmann explained that he was relatively new to understanding box office numbers and the trade aspects of the industry. He also mentioned his desire to maintain the artistic essence of his work.
“Frankly speaking, at this stage of my career, I have started getting to know numbers. During my initial years, I had no idea about opening, the first weekend, the weekday, sustainability or whatever.. nothing. I was far away from trade. I was only with the script, my character, my job as an actor, and that's the pure way of approaching a film. And I still want to enjoy the innocence of an artist. Rest, I think if the universe conspires, it'll be loved organically by people. That's the kind of core I have,” the Dream Girl 2 actor stated.
