Ayushmann Khurrana talks about working with Amitabh Bachchan in 'Gulabo Sitabo'

Ayushmann Khurrana got a chance to work with his favourite actor Amitabh Bachchan in the film Gulabo Sitabo. According to a news portal, it was a lifelong dream of Ayushmann Khurrana to work with Amitabh Bachchan. The film is significant in itself due to the fact that it was released on a digital platform instead of the traditional 70 mm theatrical release in light of the current situation. Fans, however, have loved the film regardless of this aspect and have showered it with praise ever since.

Speaking about working with Shoojit Sircar once again after Vicky Donor, Ayushmann Khurrana said that he is quite glad to shift his role from his previous work with Sircar. The actor said that he owes his career to Shoojit Sircar. Hence according to Ayushmann Khurrana, even if Shoojit Sircar were to offer him a passing role in Gulabo Sitabo, he would have still done it. 

Ayushmann has called Shoojit Sircar his guru and added that for a while now he has been doing message-oriented films and therefore Gulabo Sitabo is a change in that aspect. The actor added that the movie in no way offers social commentary and is in fact pure cinema and storytelling, according to a news portal.
