MUMBAI: Ayushmann Khurrana takes leap of faith with his characters and projects. “I have always looked to collaborate with new storytellers as they are looking to bring a fresh voice and a different vision to our cinema,” said Ayushmann. He added: “Young, first-time filmmakers are looking to make a mark in the industry and they are always coming up with high-risk content decisions which appeals to me a lot as I have always gravitated towards being super risky with my film and character choices.”
“I have always strongly felt that we need to be bold in our approach as the audience is exposed to brilliant content from across the world and they only want to watch new stuff. I laud these filmmakers for expressing their views and opinions freely. They want to explode in the world of entertainment and as an artist, who is constantly looking for clutter-breaking and disruptive content, such people are always on my radar,” he said.
The actor is always on a lookout to discover new and brilliant directors. “I want to creatively collaborate with as many of them as possible as they are massive risk-takers and visionaries who want to change the way people are consuming content. I have always believed that without risks, nothing new or exciting can come out. Our industry needs more disruption and they are bringing this out brilliantly. Their talent is exceptional. I have been fortunate that these filmmakers were excited to collaborate with me,” exclaimed Ayushmann. The actor said, “I’m collaborating with the first-time director Anubhuti Kashyap for ‘Doctor G’ and can’t wait to start working with her. She is a restless storyteller who has an extraordinary vision. With this film we will be able to present something unique, engaging and entertaining.”
