The
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
starrer,
Gulabo
Sitabo,
released
on
the
digital
platform
yesterday,
on
June
12,
2020.
The
two
star
actors
have
been
praised
for
their
performances
and
on-screen
camaraderie.
Ayushmann,
who
is
a
huge
fan
Big
B,
opened
up
on
working
with
the
latter.
He
said
that
he
was
glad
that
Amitabh
was
wearing
'deceitful'
makeup,
and
was
not
himself
on
the
set
as
he
would've
otherwise
found
it
hard
to
be
professional
around
him.
Speaking
to
Mid-Day
in
an
interview,
Ayushmann
said,
"It's
hard
to
be
a
professional
actor
around
your
screen
idol.
I
am
glad
he
wasn't
playing
himself
-
the
alpha
male
with
a
[deep]
baritone.
He
was
playing
a
character,
wearing
deceitful
make-up.
So,
there
wasn't
a
hint
of
the
legend
on
set.
But
after
pack-up
every
day,
I
would
pinch
myself
to
believe
that
I
was,
in
fact,
sharing
screen
space
with
him."
He
added,
"After
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha
(2015)
released,
Mr.
Bachchan
sent
me
a
personalised
note,
appreciating
the
nuances
of
my
performance.
When
I
won
the
National
Award
for
Andhadhun
(2018),
he
sent
a
beautiful
message."
Gulabo
Sitabo
has
opened
to
rave
reviews
by
critics.
The
film
is
about
a
comical
relationship
between
a
tenant
and
his
landlord,
and
has
been
directed
by
Shoojit
Sircar.
Ayushmann,
who
made
his
debut
with
a
Shoojit
Sircar
film,
Vicky
Donor,
had
expressed
his
gratitude
towards
the
director
in
one
of
his
Instagram
posts.
He
had
written
how,
it
was
with
Shoojit's
guidance,
that
he
has
reached
this
position
in
his
career.
