2019
has
been
a
fruitful
year
for
Ayushmann
Khurrana.
After
delivering
consecutive
hits
with
Article
15,
Dream
Girl
and
Bala,
the
actor
is
currently
on
a
high
and
is
touted
to
be
one
of
the
most
promising
stars
from
Gen
X.
Ayushmann
is
known
for
picking
up
unconventional
characters
and
till
now,
they
have
all
hit
the
right
notes.
Recently
in
an
interview
with
Mid-Day,
the
Dream
Girl
actor
expressed
that
he
now
wants
to
play
a
'morally
corrupt
character'.
The
tabloid
quoted
him
as
saying,
"I
will
be
happy
to
pick
a
gory
film
or
play
a
negative
character.
I
would
love
to
play
a
morally
corrupt
person.
That
will
be
out
of
my
realm.
But
the
message,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
should
be
positive.
I
don't
want
to
endorse
wrongdoings
on
screen."
Speaking
about
the
way
the
year
has
turned
out
to
be
for
him,
Ayushmann
said
that
Dream
Girl
was
his
safest
film
and
that
he
now
wants
the
audience
to
watch
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan
for
its
message.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
needed
that
over-the-top
performance
to
show
my
range
as
an
actor.
It
was
slapstick,
and
not
the
situational
comedies
that
I
usually
[gravitate
to].
The
film
helped
me
reach
out
to
the
single-screen
audiences.
Now,
I
need
that
audience
to
come
to
theatres
for
Shubh
Mangal
Zyaada
Saavdhan.
We
have
seen
parallel
films
on
the
subject,
but
you
need
a
mainstream
film
to
normalise
homosexuality."
In
the
same
interview,
Ayushmann
also
expressed
his
anguish
at
the
recent
violent
incidents
at
Jamia
Millia
Islamia
University
over
the
controversial
amendment
in
the
Citizenship
Act.
The
actor
said,
"Deeply
disturbed
about
what
the
students
went
through
and
I
strongly
condemn
this.
All
of
us
have
the
right
to
protest
and
exercise
our
fundamental
freedom
of
expression.
However,
protests
also
cannot
turn
violent
and
lead
to
destruction
of
public
property.
That
simply
is
counterproductive.
Dear
countrymen,
this
is
the
land
of
Gandhi.
Ahimsa
is
and
should
be
the
tool
to
express.
Have
faith
in
democracy."
