Ayushmann Khurrana shares candid still from 'Gulabo Sitabo', expresses love for Bachchan

Bollywood's hit machine Ayushmann Khurrana took to Instagram earlier on Thursday and shared a still from his upcoming film Gulabo Sitabo where he can be seen sitting next to Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan on a ledge. In the caption, the Dream Girl actor expressed his adoration for the 77-year-old actor, who has reportedly essayed the role of his landlord in the Shoojit Sircar directorial, and announced that the trailer of the film will be released soon.

He wrote, "जो व्यक्ति विशेष मेरे समक्ष बैठे हैं वो इस सदी के महानायक हैं। बहुत अच्छी बात है की भेस बदल कर अपने get up में बैठे हैं नहीं तो मेरी कहाँ मजाल की “I don’t care” वाला expression बनाऊँ। वैसे trailer जल्द आ रहा है। #GulaboSitabo (The special person seated next to me is the superstar of the century. It's a good thing that he is sitting with me in his 'get up' otherwise I wouldn't have the audacity to make the 'I don't care' expression with him.)"
