Ayushmann Khurrana wants to star only in solo projects

Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who had a terrific 2017 as his consecutive releases Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan turned out to be mega-hits at the cash counter, now wants to star in those films which feature him as the only leading man.

Yes, the actor does not want to take up projects that have two or more than two leading men. Buzz has it that the Vicky Donor actor was recently offered a two-hero film, which is said to be a Hindi remake of the super-hit Tamil movie Jigarthanda, but he turned down the offer.


“At this point in his career, after two back-to-back hits Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017) and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (2017), Ayushmann wouldn’t want to do a two-hero film," reveals a well-placed source.

Reportedly, the Hindi remake of Jigarthanda also stars Sanjay Dutt as one of the leads. Khurrana was expected to share the screen space with the superstar. But now, the makers will have to hunt another actor who suits the role.

The remake is being produced by Ajay Devgn.
