As
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
first
film
Vicky
Donor
completes
ten
years,
the
actor
recalls
how
Bollywood
was
confused
about
him.
While
speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
Ayushmann
said
that
he
was
always
sure
that
his
Bollywood
debut
has
to
be
different
and
he
had
said
no
to
six
projects
before
Vicky
Donor
fell
into
his
lap.
He
told
Hindustan
Times,
"My
first
project
had
to
be
really
different.
I
knew
that
I
would
never
get
a
second
chance
since
I
was
not
from
the
industry.
In
fact,
I
had
said
no
to
six
projects
before
Vicky
Donor.
I
learnt
from
the
mistakes
of
others
and
I
was
pretty
sure
that."
When
asked
if
he
had
expected
the
film
to
do
so
well
at
the
box
office,
he
said
that
he
knew
that
Shoojit
Sircar
was
a
credible
name,
so
he
thought
the
film
would
standout.
He
thought
that
Vicky
Donor
would
be
a
critical
success,
but
the
commercial
success
was
very
overwhelming
for
him.
In
the
same
interview,
Ayushmann
said,
"After
my
first
film
Bollywood
didn't
know
what
to
do
with
me
because
the
film
was
such
an
unconventional
subject.
Post
that
such
films
were
not
being
offered.
But
I
had
to
choose
something
and
I
chose
from
what
I
was
getting.
I
just
did
one
film
a
year
and
they
were
not
successful."
He
went
on
to
add
when
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha
was
offered
to
him,
he
was
super
excited
and
it
changed
everything
for
him.
The
film
was
like
a
lifeline
for
him
and
it
gave
him
another
lease
of
life.
"From
there
on
it
has
been
good
and
the
credit
goes
to
all
the
writers
for
thinking
outside
the
box.
That
really
helped
me
because
I
always
knew
that
I
have
to
tread
an
unconventional
journey," concluded
Ayushmann.
