Ayushmann Khurrana who stepped into Bollywood with Vicky Donor made his mark with the first content-driven film. Since then, Ayushmann went on to deliver some of the best stories so far. The actor recounted his story of how he landed the role of Vicky Arora to Mumbai Mirror and we couldn't stop ourselves from sharing it with you all. He revealed what attracted him to the script and his reaction to when he first heard about Sperm donation. For the starters, Ayushmann told the daily that the director, Shoojit da (Shoojit Sircar) was hunting a 20-year-old, an eccentric-Punjabi guy to essay the lead role for his rom-com, Vicky Donor.
He recalled that the filmmaker had seen me on MTV, where Ayushmann worked an anchor. Shoojit got in touch with him via the casting director Jogi Mallang with the help of whom the actor had auditioned for another film. "When I finally met Shoojit da, he did not audition me. He simply looked at me and said that he liked me and wanted me to be myself. Later, he admitted that he had known I was his Vicky Arora the minute I entered the room where Juhi (Chaturvedi, writer) and Ronnie (Lahiri, producer) were also present."
Before taking up the project, the actor revealed that he had known what sperm donation is. He recalled that for his stint in Roadies back in 2004 required him to donate to a sperm bank in Allahabad as part of a task and he had actually done it. He further went on to say, "Seven years later, when we were filming Vicky Donor, Shoojit da was pleasantly surprised that I not only knew about the process but it also didn't make me cringe. I had been bowled over by the script!"
He reminisced his first shot with her saying, "I clearly remember my first shot, which was in a bank where Yami's character Ashima Roy worked. We were staying at a guest house in Delhi and we had converted its large garage into the bank. Vicky goes there to open an account and meets her for the first time. I was a bundle of nerves. Shoojit da is a director known for his subtlety and wanted me to tone down my voice but having been an anchor earlier, it was difficult for me to do so. He was patient with me and explained things but it still took me five to seven takes to internalise the subtlety he wanted from my performance."
But, the actor despite being nervous was very confident and in the skin of his character. He revealed that having worked in the television world extensively before that, he had turned down almost six lead roles. "Thanks to my previous gig which gave me a journalistic perspective, I'd seen the highs and lows and knew how important a script is for a film. I was looking for that one unique project and the search ended with Vicky Donor." The actor told Mirror.
