If there’s an author backed negative role, I’d love to do it, says Ayushmann Khurrana!

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who started his career with the National Award winning film, Vicky Donor and went on to prove his acting mettle with Dum Laga Ke Haisha, has mostly appeared in movies that have him playing a romantic character. He has hardly tried his hand on a negative or, for that matter, a grey character in his career so far.

But when we asked the actor that if given a choice, would he like to take up an out-and-out negative character, he said, "I would love to do it. In fact, I got a lot of awards in a play called Andha Yug, which is written by Dharmveer Bharti. I played Ashwatthama’s character in it. Ashwatthama is completely grey. He is a savage in that play. Nobody can picturise me like that. If given a chance there is an author backed negative character, I would love to do it.”


Khurrana also revealed some beans on one of his upcoming films, which is being directed by Sriram Raghavan. “In my next film, Sriram Raghavan's film, I'm playing a grey character. I am looking forward to that,” he adds.

Ayushmann Khurrana is gearing up for the release of his romantic comedy film, Bareilly Ki Barfi, which is scheduled to release on 18th August. Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the film also stars Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao in key roles.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
