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.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
