Ayushmann Khurrana thinks his brother Aparshakti Khurana's performance in Vikramaditya Motwane's series Jubilee is outstanding because long-form storytelling requires a new syntax. If a strong script comes his way, the multi-hyphenated actor wants to try out the series format.
During an interaction with PTI, Ayushmann said that he considers long-form narrative to be a distinct sort of grammar. He would love to do extended format as long as it provides him with something that is distinct from his core and allows him to explore a different aspect of himself as an actor. According to the actor, there has been a renaissance in Indian content creation thanks to OTT. Experimentation has more room to breathe. The content one creates can be more outlandish. He can't wait until OTT does something completely different and new.
Ayushmann remarked that, at the same time, he wishes to declare that his affection for the theatre is tremendous. Since he was a kid, he has been a fan. Therefore, the actor's ultimate goal is to star in a major motion picture. But every once in a while, he would love to do something on OTT.
The actor gushed about his brother Aparshakti, who changed his game with the release of the Prime Video drama Jubilee in April. Critics praised Aparshakti's portrayal of Binod Das, who becomes the overnight star Madan Kumar in the series.
Ayushmann stated that, honestly, Jubilee is among the best OTT productions India has ever created. And that's why he is so pleased with his sibling. The actor said that Aparshakti did a fantastic job switching genres and upping his game with Jubilee, given that he was previously only recognised for comedic roles.
Ayushmann is of the opinion that Madan Kumar was the series' breakout star, and he would want to work with Vikramaditya Motwane, who is a fantastic filmmaker.
The sequel to Ayushmann's 2019 smash hit Dream Girl, Dream Girl 2, is set for release soon, and the actor can't wait. The film, which also stars Ananya Panday, will open on August 25.
