I want to do a biopic on Kishore Kumar: Ayushmann Khurrana

Actor Ayushmann Khurrana eager to play a singer-cum-actor in his next

Ayushmann Khurrana has been inundated with compliments for his role as a blind pianist in his last release AndhaDhun, which has garnered rave reviews. It’s all the more special for the actor as it is his first thriller. Not only this, but his film Badhaai Ho released on October 18 and has already created a buzz, reported DNA India. The Amit Sharma directorial sees him returning to his forte — a slice-of-life comedy.

Besides his performances, the Dum Laga Ke Haisha actor has also impressed audiences with his singing skills. He has lent his voice for tracks like Paani Da Rang (Vicky Donor), Nazm Nazm (Bareilly Ki Barfi), Mitti Di Khushboo and Ik Vaari. Not surprisingly, Ayushmann wants to do a film that has him playing a singer-actor.

“By default, I have been singing in every movie. I rendered two songs in AndhaDhun and one in Badhaai ho. But I would love to play a singer-actor. In fact, I want to do the Kishore Kumar biopic as I am a huge fan of his. In between, there were talks about film-maker Anurag Basu making a movie on him and I think he should make it with me,” Ayushmann said.

Another genre he wants to try his hand at is action. “I have never undergone a physical transformation as my roles require a realistic body type. But I would love to do an action film and buff up.”
