Kolkata: Known for portraying ordinary men - often flawed and insecure - with almost no one character being similar to the other, Ayushmann Khurrana says the novelty of any kind inspires him. “Novelty inspires me, any kind, any shape or form. It could be the first attempt in Hindi cinema. That inspires me. Any person living a mundane life, 9 to 5, and still motivated to live, that inspires me, because as an artist you have a very vibrant life. You live a different character each day,” Khurrana said during an interaction at the Tata Steel Kolkata Literary Meet on Thursday.
Khurrana, whose next film ‘Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan’ based on homosexuality is slated to hit the theatres on February 21, said he has prepared for each of his vastly diverse roles by being with the milieu and also banked on his exposure to Hindi theatre as also the convent education he received.
“The idea is to be one with the milieu, get grasp of the colloquial jargons, twangs, and India is a country where every ten kilometres, the dialect changes.
