Ayushmann Khurana on his connect with the city and why he doesn't mind doing intimate scenes...
Do you feel your resolve to sing in every film will be good for you?
If someone has the talent then why should he not sing? Yes, there have been actors and playback singers in the past, but I don't go by past experience. If I did then I should not have worked with Shoojit Sircar or Rohan Sippy, because Sircar's films had not found BO success before Vicky Donor and even Rohan (Sippy)'s last film Dum Maaro Dum wasn't a hit. I have won so many awards for my singing and I can sing well, why not? Having said that, it's not mandatory that I will sing in every film. My voice is not only good for Punjabi numbers but other genres too. But I don't mind if other playback singers sing for me.
Apparently you were not happy with the promos of your flick, showing your kissing scene.
I had an issue with the promos because the scene was unnecessarily taking the beauty of the song away from the film. But I am okay with kissing scenes. Which new actor is not kissing on screen today? Films require realistic scenes and if a particular scene requires some kind of intimacy then I am not averse to them.
Meaningful films are doing well of late. Will it be a challenge to do meaningful roles, yet be commercially successful?
There is no challenge in a 90 crore film doing well at the BO and registering a 100 crore collection. The challenge is in doing a small film which has a good run at the BO. Then it means that the script is strong and you didn't require expensive locales and big stars to sell the film. After Vicky Donor, the expectations are high but I will continue to do roles that I can relate to.
It was rumoured that after Vicky Donor, you didn't want to work with small actresses. Now you have a three film contract with a big production house. Many say success has gone to your head.
I am working with two newcomers in my next film. Success can't go to my head because I have had very humble beginnings. I still anchor TV shows. Many say that TV actors don't go far and the kind of roles I do will not take me anywhere, but I don't let such negativity affect me. I am trying my hand at acting and singing and if that doesn't work I can always go back to anchoring, do radio or theater.
You lived in Ahmedabad for two months. Did you enjoy your stay?
Yes, I did a course in MICA. I feel Ahmedabad is a very interesting city with great people. I have been here many times now and enjoy being here.
