The Indian Film actor and singer Ayushmann Khurrana says that as an actor being a part of two hero film is nothing wrong if the script is good. In his recently released movie titled “Bareilly Ki Barfi,” he is sharing the screen with Rajkummar Rao for the first time on screen. The movie which was directed by Ashwini Iyer Tiwari and written by Nitesh Tiwari.
Recently, Filmmaker Rohit Shetty said he was planning to remake the film “Ram Lakhan”, but it fell through because the male actors were insecure about working together.
Sharing the screen with the other actor for the very first time, On this Arjun Kapoor says, “I’ve never done a two-hero film and its okay to do it. In ‘Vicky Donor’, Anu Kapoor, I thought, had a more author-backed role than me. But he wasn’t my contemporary, Rajkummar is. But if the script is good, then why not. Once in a while, it’s good to do a two hero film.” Ayushmann was the one to suggest Rajkummar’s name for the film, despite knowing that Rajkummar’s character will be getting all the appreciation.
About his co-star Rajkummar, Ayushmann says, “I love him (Rajkummar) as a person and an actor. I was the one who suggested his name for the character. His role is more author-backed than mine. I knew he will get all the good reviews for acting in the film. I won’t be surprised if they say ‘he stole the show’ because his role is like that, the transition from a meek to an aggressive guy. I trigger that change but he is doing it.”
Ayushmann says that as an actor Rajkummar has improved a lot and he always looks up to Rajkummar’s ability of transforming himself in all of his film. He said, “We are similar in a way but the kind of films we’ve done are slightly different. He has done mostly alternate cinema, I’ve done a mix of both. My films are somewhere in between good commercial success and are also content-based. He added, “I’ve always looked up to Rajkummar because he is so versatile. He changes so much in every film, which isn’t easy. He has brought this film (‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’) to another level. Selfishly, I feel you should have great actors as eventually, if a film succeeds, everyone wins.”
The movie “Bareilly Ki Barfi” released last Friday, featuring Rajkummar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Kriti Sanon in the lead role.
