Ayushmann Khurrana and Nushrat Bharucha team up for Dream Girl

Ayushmann Khurrana, one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood, has joined forces with Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) fame actress Nushrat Bharucha for a new film, titled Dream Girl.

Khurrana, who added two superhit films to his credit in 2018 – Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho – shared the news on his Instagram account, where he wrote, “Of every possible role, this one, I'd be honest, would have never crossed my mind! But here I am, to play a role in and as Dream Girl."


Dream Girl will be helmed by Raaj Shaandilyaa. Ekta Kapoor is producing the film under Balaji Motion Pictures banner. She took to Twitter to announce the project and wrote, "You wouldn't have thought of this even in your wildest 'Dreams'. Presenting Ayushmann Khurrana in and as Dream Girl.”

Nushrat Bharucha, who has previously worked with Ekta Kapoor, says it is a homecoming of sorts for her. "After working with Ekta in the past, this is a homecoming of sorts for me. I am excited to work with Ayushmann for this comedy entertainer. Interestingly, this year has been favourable for strong content-driven films, and this film will, hopefully, continue this tide."

This is the first time when Nushrat Bharucha is teaming up with Ayushmann Khurrana for a film. She is also doing a movie with National award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao, titled Turram Khan.

Yash says ‘men and women see life differently’ as 'Toxic' brings a new perspective to storytelling

Highlights

  • Yash says Geethu Mohandas brought a layered and different perspective to Toxic
  • The actor resisted repeating the formula behind K.G.F: Chapter 2
  • Toxic is being developed with a global outlook while remaining rooted in Indian storytelling

Four years after the success of K.G.F: Chapter 2, Yash is returning with Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups, but not in the way many expected. Instead of following a familiar path after one of India’s biggest box-office hits, the actor says he deliberately moved away from projects that felt designed to recreate past success. For Yash, Toxic became an opportunity to explore new ideas, challenge himself creatively and think about Indian cinema on a wider stage.

Moving away from formula and playing safe

Yash revealed that after K.G.F: Chapter 2, several ideas came his way that appeared to follow an expected pattern. Rather than capitalising on what had already worked, he was drawn to stories that demanded more thought and experimentation. That eventually led him to Geethu Mohandas and Toxic. While the film carries the visual language of a gangster drama, Yash explained that it also explores emotional complexity, moral ambiguity and darker aspects of human behaviour.
