Ayushmann Khurrana, known for his films like Vicky Donor, Andhadhun, Badhaai Ho, Article 15, and Dream Girl, recently opened up about returning to a wholesome family entertainer, sharing heartfelt admiration for filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya and his values-driven storytelling.
*Reflecting on his experience during The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, Season 3, produced by Gautam Thakker Films, Ayushmann Khurrana said*, _“When I go to his set, first I bow to the set and then I touch his feet,I truly feel like I have come to a temple”_
*He further added* _“He is such a spiritual person, very clean-hearted. I think there is no one more saintly than him in the entire industry. He’s still the purest and goes by his convictions. He always carries the family audience along with him in his films, everyone is a hero: mother, father, uncle, aunt, everyone. So, that’s like a complete family entertainment film. The last time I did a film like that was Badhaai Ho, where from nani to dadi, everyone was the main character of the film. And this time again, I’m going back to where the family is the star of the film, and only Sooraj Barjatya can do that”_
With Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 on the horizon, Ayushmann Khurrana continues to navigate stories rooted in relationships and emotional nuance. At the same time, his collaboration with Sooraj Barjatya brings him back to cinema steeped in tradition and shared family moments, a space that has long connected with audiences across generations.
