After
playing
relatable
"good
boy" roles
in
several
films,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
is
thrilled
about
his
next
project
with
filmmaker
Sriram
Raghavan,
which
he
says,
will
"shock"
the
audience.
The
yet-to-be-titled
thriller
will
reportedly
feature
Ayushmann
as
a
blind
concert
pianist.
The
actor
says
he
has
never
really
done
films
of
diverse
genres
before,
and
is
therefore
excited
about
this
one.
"I
am
glad
I've
taken
my
time.
I
have
dabbled
two
different
characters
but
I
haven't
dabbled
two
genres.
My
films
have
been
medium
budget
ones,
set
in
small
towns
about
middle
class
family
where
I
play
relatable
good
boy
characters.
"I
don't
want
to
change
myself
with
every
film.
Let
me
settle
for
this
and
then
I'll
do
a
makeover
so
that
it
should
be
a
shocker
for
people.
So
as
a
character,
this
will
definitely
shock
people," Ayushmann
tells
PTI.
Though
the
actor
is
tight-lipped
about
the
film,
he
confirms
it
is
not
titled
"Shoot
The
Piano
Player" as
was
being
reported.
This
is
the
first
time
Ayushmann
is
collaborating
with
Raghavan.
Ayushmann
says
he
is
drawn
to
realistic
stories
due
to
his
upbringing.
The
32-year-old
says
more
than
Hollywood,
he
grew
up
watching
Bollywood
movies
and
his
struggling
days
helped
him
connect
with
the
masses
more.
"I
know
songs
from
the
'50s
and
'60s,
I
can
tell
you
the
names
of
the
lyricists
also.
I
am
proud
of
knowing
films
of
my
country.
That
keeps
me
real.
"I
love
doing
films
which
are
real,
relatable
because
I
come
from
a
theatre
background,
I
travelled
everywhere
with
my
group
and
interacted
with
the
masses.
Then
I
joined
radio
which
has
a
direct
connect
and
I
think
that
connect
translated
into
films.''
