He
may
have
proved
his
singing
prowess
with
hits
such
as
"Pani
da
rang",
"Nazm
nazm" and
"Mitti
di
khushboo",
but
playing
the
role
of
a
blind
musician
in
his
next
film
was
not
easy
for
Ayushmann
Khurrana.
The
actor
said
he
was
drawn
towards
the
film,
being
helmed
by
Sriram
Raghavan,
as
music
is
an
integral
part
of
his
real
and
reel
life.
"It
was
not
easy
(to
play
this
role).
I
know
music,
I
can
play
guitar,
but
learning
piano
from
scratch...
I
had
given
a
lot
of
time
to
learn
it," Khurrana
told
PTI.
He
said
that
Raghavan,
who
is
directing
him
for
the
first
time,
believes
in
doing
impromptu
things
and
that
made
things
even
tougher.
"Sriram
sir
demands
a
lot
from
his
actors.
He
will
give
you
a
situation
and
the
milieu
and
ask
you
to
react
on
it,
and
that
is
quite
amazing.
I
am
from
the
theatre
background
and
so
it
was
fun,"
he
added.
For
the
first
time
Ayushmann
will
be
seen
doing
action
sequences
on-screen
and
calling
the
experience
"crazy",
the
actor
said
he
is
waiting
for
the
audience's
reaction
on
the
same.
"It
was
tough
as
it
is
something
new
that
I
am
trying.
It
was
a
crazy
ride.
I
am
anxious
as
well
as
excited
for
the
film."
Khurrana
is
part
of
another
project
-
"Badhaai
Ho"
-
opposite
"Dangal"
famed
actor
Sanya
Malhotra.
"My
brother
and
Sanya
share
a
good
bonding
as
they
worked
together
on
'Dangal'.
I
remember
meeting
her
on
the
sets
of
'Dangal',
she
had
short
hair,
looked
very
different.
She
is
a
great
performer.
I
remember
shooting
an
ad
film
with
her
in
the
past."
"She
has
started
from
scratch
and
today
whatever
she
has
achieved
in
her
career,
it
is
on
her
own,"
he
said
praising
his
co-star.
"Badhaai
Ho",
directed
by
Amit
Sharma,
who
had
earlier
helmed
Arjun
Kapoor's
"Tevar",
is
about
a
family
getting
affected
due
to
some
unexpected
news.
"It
is
something
really
different.
It
has
a
quirky
one-liner
which
I
can't
reveal
at
the
moment,"
Ayushmann
added.
