Talking about the pressure to deliver each time, Ayushmann Khurrana says it’s a happy space to be in! The actor spoke to IANS in a recent interview-
It is the happiest place to be in. About four years back, Aditya Chopra told me that I should do films where people expecting something out of me. They should have an expectation of good content when they see me. I am glad that I am able to achieve that now.
Ayushmann further said that delivering back-to-back hits gives him the confidence to choose subjects.
It gives you courage to choose subjects and go with your intuition. ‘Article 15’ is such a subject. After giving four back-to-back successes, I had the courage to do a film like that, which is beyond commercial aspirations.
