Ayushmann
Khurrana
is
all
set
to
play
his
first
gay
character
in
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan.
The
film
has
caused
a
buzz
for
a
lot
of
right
reasons.
Being
the
first
mainstream
Hindi
romantic
comedy
on
a
gay
couple,
it
has
surely
aimed
to
break
boundaries.
The
film
features
a
kissing
scene
between
Ayushmann
and
his
co-star
Jitendra
Kumar.
Ayushmann's
wife
Tahira
Kashyap
says
that
she
was
delighted
to
see
Ayushmann
kissing
a
guy
on
screen.
As
a
director,
she
says
that
her
mind
is
open
to
seeing
the
emotions
of
a
character,
whether
they
be
in
love
with
someone
of
the
opposite
sex
or
the
same
sex.
Tahira
told
Pinkvilla,
"I
was
delighted
to
see
Ayushmann
kissing
a
guy
on
screen!
Honestly,
now
I
view
it
from
the
perspective
of
respecting
an
artist
and
his
work
-
so
whether
he
kisses
a
man
or
woman,
I
am
seeing
the
emotion
of
the
character.
When
he
kisses
a
girl,
I
can
see
that
the
man
is
in
love
with
her
and
this
is
what
he
needs
to
do
to
show
love.
I
would
make
my
characters
in
my
movies
do
the
same.
And
now
if
he
is
kissing
a
man
that's
the
most
natural
thing
for
him
to
do
because
he
is
gay
and
that's
his
way
of
expressing
love."
She
added,
"Who
am
I
to
judge?
My
perspective
of
watching
him
on
screen
is
surely
from
the
perspective
of
what
he
as
a
character
should
be
doing
and
in
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Savdhaan
this
is
what
he
should
do
because
he
is
in
love
with
the
boy.
What
else
do
you
do
when
you
are
in
love?"
Apart
from
Ayushmann
and
Jitendra,
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan
also
stars
Gajraj
Rao
and
Neena
Gupta.
The
film
has
been
directed
by
Hitesh
Kewalya
as
a
follow
up
to
his
2017
film
Shubh
Mangal
Saavdhan.
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan
is
scheduled
for
release
on
February
21,
2020.
