Ayushmann
Khurrana
Was
The
First
Choice
For
Gulabo
Sitabo
The
filmmaker
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
entertainment
portal,
"Yes,
he
(Ayushmann)
was
the
first
choice,
but
before
that
we
debated
a
lot.
His
casting
was
done
later.
First
was
Mr
Bachchan's
casting
and
then
I
remember
I
think
I
broke
the
news
to
him,
I
remember
it
was....Deepika
Padukone's
reception."
Shoojit
Sircar
Reveals
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
Reaction
To
Bagging
The
Film
He
continued,
"So
at
that
reception
I
gave
him
the
basic
narration,
I
remember.
And
you
know
that's
when
we
agreed
(to
do
the
film).
He
was
excited,
he
was
jumping
since
then.
So,
I
think
we
first
bounced
the
idea
to
him
at
the
their
reception.
Suddenly
mere
ko
yaad
aa
raha
hai.
I
think
you
are
the
first
one
I
am
telling
this.
So,
that's
when
I
told
him
the
idea."
Ayushmann
On
Working
With
A
Cinematic
Legend
Like
Amitabh
Bachchan
While
speaking
with
IANS,
the
Dream
Girl
actor
revealed
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
helped
him
in
improvising
his
lines.
"That
was
such
an
eye
opener
for
me.
I
remember
when
I
was
marking
my
own
lines
in
the
script
and
he
was
like
why
are
you
marking
your
own
lines
you
should
mark
my
lines
also.
That
goes
to
show
he
believes
in
the
totality
of
the
process,
he's
not
a
selfish
actor,
he
is
a
collaborator,"
he
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
news
agency.
