Ayushmann Khurrana is happy to attract stories like Badhai Ho, Andhadu

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana says his latest
Badhaai Ho will ignite curiosity and laughter
in people as it revolves around an old
couple becoming parents again. The
comedy-drama features Ayushmann as the
son of an elderly couple who find out they
would be turning parents for the third time.
"It is rare to see people of our parents' age
becoming parents again. This was a very
normal thing back in the 70s and the 80s.
So people might think that Badhaai Ho is
ahead of it's times but I think they'll find it
funny and interesting because this doesn't
happen today, Ayushann told PTI.
"Had this been shown in a 70s film, people
would've reacted normally. This is what
makes Badhaai Ho so interesting. I am sure
people will look forward to this and the
response to the trailer has been amazing
too, he added.
The actor made his film debut with 2012's
Vicky Donor where he played a sperm
donor. Last year, he featured in Shubh
Mangal Savdhaan, which revolved around
erectile dysfunction. Ayushmann is amused
that such stories end up coming to him but
he isn't complaining. "I don't know why
such scripts come to me but I just go for
the interesting stories. Even Andhadhun, it
is so different from anything I've done so
far. I would like to continue attracting such
stories, he said.
Directed by Amit Sharma, "Badhaai Ho also
features Sanya Malhotra and Neena Gupta.
While Ayushmann has previously featured
in comedies set in small towns, he says the
treatment is different.
"Actors keep saying that they want to do
something different so they look different
to the audience but I believe people watch
a film for it's story and concept. If the story
is different, you will also look different. The
setting and the milieu of Badhaai Ho is very
different than that of Vicky Donor and
Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, I am not speaking
the same language as I spoke in those two
films. My accent is different here, he says.
Badhaai Ho releases on October 12.
