EXCLUSIVE: Ayushmann Khurrana reveals THIS film affected him the most, gets candid about his script formula
Pinkvilla sat down for an exclusive chat with Ayushmann Khurrana who got candid about his rollercoaster ride and what he has learned over the years.
Ayushmann Khurrana has clocked 10 successful years in Indian cinema today as his debut film Vicky Donor released on 20 April in 2012. Pinkvilla sat down for an exclusive chat with Ayushmann who got candid about his rollercoaster ride and what he has learned over the years.
When asked if has ever lost himself in the process, due to the varied characters he plays, Ayushmann revealed that he has the ability to detach himself. "It really depends on how you take it. I used to be a method actor when I used to do theatre. But when I became a film actor, started hosting and became more natural, instead of getting overwhelmed by the character, I used to give something to the character. I never took the character back home. I can switch on and switch off very easily. If the cameras are off, I'm myself," the actor revealed to Pinkvilla.
Reminiscing one of the many films that "affected" him, Ayushmann revealed it was Article 15. "Probably there is one film - Article 15 - which really affected me. That's the only dark film I've done. The theme was very dark. I had read a lot about BR Ambedkar and also casteism..that affected me," Ayushmann said,
Adding, "Apart from that, most of the films are light-hearted. The subject can be hard hitting but the narrative is light and soft, that's how I present the story. So that people can consume it easily."
Check out Pinkvilla's exclusive interview with Ayushmann:
When asked about what is his formula to pick off-beat scripts, Ayushmann said, "The formula I think may change every two to three years because people are ever-evolving. But, at the same time, you need to give something to people and being a risk taker, has always been a part of my DNA and with my first film, so my entire career has been built because of risks that have always happened. So firstly, it has be the first attempt in Hindi cinema, the script has to be normal, clutter-breaking and somewhere in between. It should be palatable to the common man. It cannot be too intellectual or too high brow so that the audiences should not be split. It should be understandable, easily graspable by everyone. Otherwise, there is no point in making that film. If you want to make a social media change, it has to be simplistic."
