I know I’ve become a star but don’t want to believe it: Ayushmann

Mumbai: Six years and nearly a dozen films later, Ayushmann Khurrana says his aim is to be consistent with his choices by retaining his innocence towards the craft.
Ayushmann, who made his debut with “Vicky Donor” in 2012, has featured in several slice-of-life films, including “Dum Laga Ke Haisha” and “Shubh Mangal Savdhan”. His first thriller “Andhadhun”, directed by Sriram Raghavan, is the best-reviewed film of the year. He has followed it up with “Badhaai Ho”, which is garnering a positive response.
“I approach all my films as my first. If you carry that innocence, it reflects in the camera. I know I have become a star but I don’t want to believe it. I want to be that simple, no fuss guy who approaches a film as if it is my first movie,” Ayushmann told PTI.
The 34-year-old actor believes he has learnt to trust his intuition when it comes to selecting films.
“My acting career has been quite a ride. After ‘Vicky Donor’, I gave two-three unsuccessful films and that was a great learning curve. But ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ onwards it was cool. I learnt so much from all my films, successful or unsuccessful.
Ayushmann says the key to being grounded is to surround oneself with people who keep things real.
The “Meri Pyaari Bindu” actor says he is always on the lookout for different subjects.
“My first aspiration is to be consistent. Atul Kasbekar (producer) once said I’m like Rahul Dravid of Bollywood, I pick up the right deliveries and hit the sweet spot, but otherwise, I am chill and never try too hard. That’s a great analogy, I love it.
“The running thread of my career has been different scripts. There isn’t any reference point for any of the films — ‘Vicky Donor’, ‘Andhadhun’ or ‘Badhaai Ho’ so people find it exciting because they haven’t seen anything like this. I’m quite proud of it.”
