Versatile actor and singer Ayushmann Khurana, who started his career with films like ‘Vicky Donor’ and ‘Shubh Mangal Savadhan’ is now training as a cross-functional athlete for a progressive love story by director Abhishek Kapoor known for films like Rock On!!, Kai Po Che, and Kedarnath,
The yet-untitled film is set in North India and it will begin its shooting schedule in October. The film will release worldwide in theatres next year.
Abhishek said, “Ayushmann and I are both known for a certain kind of cinema and this film is definitely a special one for both of us. We want audiences to come back to the theatres and watch movies as a community and for that, we will spare no effort. We strive to bring our best game for this one.”
The filmmaker added that he is going to present Ayushmann in a never-seen-before avatar. “Ayushmann plays a Cross-Functional Athlete in the film and he will have to go through a physical transformation that he hasn’t done before. Its quite a challenge and he’s very committed to it.”
Ayushmann said “Abhishek has a very distinct voice in cinema today and I’m glad that we finally got the opportunity to collaborate on a project that’s exceedingly close to my heart. This film has all the trappings to take audiences through a ride of emotions and it is a total family entertainer. It is a beautiful, progressive love story that will also touch your hearts.”
Ayushmann, whose choice of cinema has given birth to a genre in Hindi movies called ‘The Ayushmann Khurrana Genre’, adds, “I’m supremely excited about the physical transformation that I will have to undergo. I have never looked like this on-screen and I’m looking forward to seeing the reaction of audiences. The process is going to be intense and excruciating for me but I feel all the pain will be worth it.”
