Kickstarting his Bollywood career with a spectacular performance in Vicky Donor, Ayushmann made headlines by picking the sensitive subject of Sperm Donation. The movie made waves and won the hearts of critics and the audiences. Khurrana even won the Filmfare for Best Debutant in 2012.
#2 Andhadhun
The story of a blind pianist stuck in a murder mystery gets Ayushmann his much deserving National Award! If you have seen the movie, you know how fantastic and gripping the script was, topped with Ayushmann’s path breaking performance! The movie is a cinematic wonder!
#3 Shubh Mangal Savdhan & Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhan
Adressing the elephant in the room, Ayushmann striked yet again with topics like Erectile Dysfunction & Homosexuality in the Shubh Mangal series. The movies spoke about such taboos in the Indian society with a dash of humour. Ayushmann was lauded for this performance across the globe, including US president Donald Trump.
#4 Bala
With Bala, Ayushmann proved that he’s one versatile star. He can play the handsome, charming man as well as the common man with common issues with equal ease.
In an interview, he said, “Bala is not just one of the best scripts but it is the best script I have ever read, and it has got a lot of heart and soul. For me, it’s a very special film, the most special film in fact. It’s not just about emotional attachment but also the physical part that happened during Bala. Bala was the toughest in my life because wearing three layers of prosthetics on your head and that under the sun, it was very difficult. Physically it was very taxing.”
#5 Article 15
Being a morally stoic IPS officer, Ayushmann’s Article 15 highlights the plight of the lower caste and the evils of the caste system that still prevail in our society. His dialogue delivery and power pack performance was loved by the audiences.
