Ayushmann Khurranna Is On A Roll, Has 5 Releases In 10 Months

After delivering four back to back successes, Ayushmann Khurranna is now preparing for the next leg of his career. Believe it or not but he now has five films in different stages of production, all of which are expected to release in next 10 months.

These films are Article 15, Bala, Dream Girl, Shubh Mangal Jyada Saavdhaan and Gulabo Sitabo.

"Clearly, he is one of the hottest youngsters around," comments a trade insider, "Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Savdhan, both of which released in 2017, were good successes. However, the game changer was year 2018. He first delivered an unconventional superhit in Andhadhun. This was followed by a blockbuster Badhai Ho, which was again a risky subject. Somehow, Ayushmann is managing to pull it all off. It isn't plain coincidence or good luck; it is the choices that he is making to bring offbeat subjects in an entertaining manner."

As a matter of fact the crowning glory for Ayushmann has been the blockbuster success of Andhadhun in China as well, which has pushed him to further big league.

"That should now reflect in the next five films as none of them is a conventional Bollywood film again," a prominent filmmaker observers, "His last four successes have been largely light hearted, even Andhadhun was a dark comedy. However, Anubhav Sinha's Article 15 sees him in a no-nonsense avtar as a cop. Then in Bala he is playing a young man who is fast losing year. It would be interesting to see how he fights off baldness in this film by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik, who are reuniting after delivering a blockbuster Stree. The shooting is already on."

Dream Girl has Ayushmann Khurranna playing, hold your breath, a 'dream girl' no less. One waits to see what he brings on screen in this quirky comedy.

"Something special for her," our source quips, "It has prolific writer Raaj Shaandilyaa making his debut as a director. Ever since producer Ekta Kapoor released the poster of the film that had a saree clad Ayushmann featuring in it, there is curiosity to check out what he has to offer. From Hemal Malini as 'dream girl' to now Ayushmann Khurranna, it is going to be something."
