Mind with creative process:
- Ayushmann’s latest release is “Bareilly Ki Barfi”, and his next is “Shubh Mangal Saavdhan”.
- His last release “Meri Pyaari Bindu” did not do well at the box office.
- But the actor says he is not under much pressure because his mind is always occupied in some creative process.
- Ayushmann told, it’s not that the failure of a film does not affect me, but I am not just an actor but an artiste.
- And I think, the life of an artiste is much sexy and interesting than of superstar.
- I am writing, I am composing songs, doing musical concerts, I am acting in films.
- My mind is always in some creative process. So I do not let the failure affect me much.
- Nevertheless, his interesting and unique choice of scripts has always been spoken about.
- His next film “Shubh Mangal Saavdhan” delves on erectile dysfunction.

Ayushmann said:
- “Well, that’s what I get more often. That’s why I have chosen that film.
- But the fact is choosing the script is always a risk-taking step.
- At times a film looks interesting on paper.
- But it doesn’t get translated on the screen because filmmaking is a collaborating effort.
- In addition,I always wanted to work on unusual subjects in my films, even as a newcomer.
- In the beginning, I refused to some formula films and ‘Vicky Donor’ came to me because everyone refused to do the film.
- That film worked. Hopefully, my new films will also work.
About “Bareilly Ki Barfi”:
- In “Bareilly Ki Barfi”, he plays a small town bully.
- He has worked in it with Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao.
- “Kriti is a revelation in this film. She is actually a good actor.
- And of course, I had a great fun shooting with Rajkumar.
- He is playing a really funny and interesting character, he has got all the punch lines.
- And the transition of his character is more interesting than mine.
- Having said that, it is always great to have good actors in a film.
- Because that enhance everybody’s performance,” shared Ayushman.
Having a humble beginning with theatre followed by television, the actor has come a long way, but success has not spoilt his simplicity.
Asked about how he maintains that:
- Ayushman said: “I am never sad nor am I a happy person. I am somewhere in between.
- And I am really a simple guy. I am acting in front of the camera anyway, so if I will act even off the camera, when will I live my life?
- “I cannot stay away from the real life because that is how I grow as an artiste.
- For my theatre, I travelled to various parts of the country and interacted with common people… So you know, you are in a real space,” he said.
