Ayushmann Khurrana Feels ¡®Star Status¡¯ Is Undermined: ¡®It¡¯s Difficult Than Being An Actor¡¯
Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana who has made a significant mark in the Indian film industry is known solely for the subject of his films. He is known to have touched the social nerves of society and is soon to come with his next, Doctor G. His upcoming film deals with the stereotypes of male gynaecologists.
Ayushmann thinks that being a star is more difficult than being just an actor
¡°Here¡¯s the difference between an actor and a star¡ A lot of people undermine the status of a star, they say they prefer ¡®actors¡¯. But a star is an inborn MBA, a star is an inborn PR person, and has a lot of qualities that someone who is just an actor would not. To be a star is more difficult than to be an actor. Of course, you¡¯re very focused on your craft as an actor, but to understand the larger picture of how a film works, and that the film should be beneficial for the producers, that¡¯s the big picture. You learn as you go along,¡± Khurrana said.
Although Ayushmann¡¯s last two releases, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui and Anek went drastically poor on the business scale as well as critical reviews. Even when he thinks it is important to fulfil social responsibility, on the face of it, the film shall also make money. Khurrana believes in balancing the two.
Recently, Ayushmann also revealed that he was once offered a blank cheque which he rejected without any doubts.
¡°I remember there was this one producer who gave me a bank cheque saying, 'aap jitne paise chahiye le lo, humare saath teen picture kar lo'. I asked about the story, subject and the script, his response was, 'woh toh likhte rahenge hum¡¯. Maine kaha, mere liye Lakshmi ke pehle Saraswati aati hai. For me the script is very important, there have been offers, which have been out there, and much more than what I expected. But it is the script which is of utmost importance¡±, the Dream Girl actor said.
On the professional front¡
Ayushmann is awaiting his next release Doctor G on October 14. The film co-stars Rakul Preet Singh, Sheeba Chaddha and Shefali Shah. He will also be seen in Dream Girl 2 opposite Ananya Panday and An Action Hero. Other than being a remarkable actor, Ayushmann is a renowned singer. He has sung some soulful songs like ¡®Naina Da Kya Kasoor¡¯, ¡®Mere Liye Tum Kaafi Ho¡¯ and more.
