Ayushmann Khurrana on working with Nawazuddin Siddiqui
In an exclusive interview with IANS, Ayushmann Khurrana shared, “Our film is actually light-hearted in tone. Yes, it has the emotional weight of a love story, but it’s filled with comedy, action, and quirk-especially Nawaz bhai’s character! Off-camera, we had a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It was my first time working with him, and I was keen to understand his process and his journey. When you’re working with a generous co-actor like him, it elevates your own performance. There’s a natural comfort, and that brings out the best in scenes.”Nawazuddin added, “My experience was terrible! [Laughs] Only because he hit me once and broke my fake tooth. But to his credit, he was very apologetic. He even sent flowers to my house-more than he’s ever sent his wife, apparently.”Ayushmann went on to narrate, “Yes, it’s true! I apologized a thousand times. I had to hit him fifty times in the film, and just once, it connected. Thankfully, it was a fake tooth! But on a serious note, having a lead actor who creates a positive and collaborative set environment makes a huge difference. Everyone performs better.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
