Ayushmann wants to do a biopic on Kishore Kumar

Ayushmann Khurrana has been receiving compliments for his role as a blind pianist in his last release AndhaDhun, which has got rave reviews. It’s all the more special for the actor as it is his first thriller. Not only that, the trailer of his next, Badhaai Ho, has already created a buzz.  “During the narration, I was cracking up every five minutes. It was a no-brainer for me and it takes my legacy of doing such movies forward. People expect it from me,” he said with media in India.

The comedy, which features Sanya Malhotra, Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao, deals with late parental pregnancy. “Parents are judged when they have a child at a later stage. There is nothing wrong with physical relations at that age, but having a huge gap between children becomes slightly embarrassing for the elder siblings. Peers make fun of you and you feel awkward,” elaborates Ayushmann. He feels that it was normal in the days when people had nine to 10 children, where the difference between the eldest and youngest sibling would be 20 years. He  has also impressed audiences with his singing skills. He has lent his voice for tracks like Paani Da Rang (Vicky Donor), Nazm Nazm (Bareilly Ki Barfi) and singles such as Mitti Di Khushboo, Ik Vaari, etc. Not surprisingly, the actor wants to do a film that has him playing a singer-actor.  “By default, I have been singing in every movie. I rendered two songs in AndhaDhun and one in Badhaai ho. But I would love to play a singer-actor. In fact, I want to do the Kishore Kumar biopic as I am a huge fan of his. In between, there were talks about filmmaker Anurag Basu making a movie on him, I think he should make it with me,”
