In a recent interview, Ayushmann Khurrana says, “I had asked Shoojit Sircar (director of ‘Vicky Donor’), ‘Why did you chose me for the role of a sperm donor’? He said, he wanted somebody who has a clean image and looks innocent. If that innocence is taken out of the subject then it may become cheap.”

He added, “Bhumi and I had to bring that innocence in our chemistry to deal with the subject. With this subject, innocence will work otherwise it won’t work.” About his experience on collaborating with his ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ co-star Bhumi Pednekar, Ayushmann Khurrana says, “It’s great to be working with someone who is a friend, but you have to be good actors as well.

On this, he said, “It was very ironical when I got to know the subject, I felt life has come a full circle from a sperm donor to erectile dysfunction. This kind of film is required in today’s day and age.
