The day of Gulabo SitaboUpon his release, Ayushmann Khurrana dedicated a note of gratitude to his co-star Amitabh Bachchan and to the director Shoojit Sircar. In his article, Ayushmann recounted his journey as a fan of Amitabh Bachchan and filming his first television project in the same place as that of the song by Big B Jumma Chumma to work with him. Ayushmann, who could not describe his surreal experience of sharing screen space with Mr. Bachchan in a few words, also thanked Shoojit Sircar for having chosen him as co-star of Big B. Here is what Ayushmann wrote in Hindi, sharing an image of Gulabo Sitabo.
“Jab bhi humare desh mein koi naujawan abhinay ke shetra mein kadam rakhna chahta hai, toh uska dhyaye hota hai Amitabh Bachchan. Meri akhri film mein ek dialogue tha ki ‘Bachchan bante nahi hai, Bachchan toh bas hote hai.’ Jab maine bachpan mein Chandigarh ke Neemal Cinema mein Hum dekhi thi aur bade se Bachchan ko bade parde par dekha tha toh sharir mein aise urja huyi jisne mujhe abhineta banne by majboor kar diya. (Every time a young man enters the theater in our country, his goal is to be like Amitabh Bachchan. There was a dialogue in my last film “We cannot become Bachchan, Bachchan is than one. “In my childhood, when I looked Hum at the Neelam cinema in Chandigarh and when I saw the superstar Bachchan on a big screen, I became so energetic that it forced me to become an actor). “
“Mera pehla TV shoot Mukesh Mills mein hua tha aur yehi woh jagah hai jahaan Jumma Chumma shoot hua tha. Uss din mujhe “I have arrived” wali smelling a gayi thi. Agar tab yeh haal tha toh aaj aap soch sakte honge main kiss anubhuti se guzar raha hun. (My first TV session was at Mukesh Mills and it’s the same place where Jumma Chumma was shot. That day, I had this kind of feeling “I arrived”. If my condition were as follows, I hope you can imagine the feeling I am feeling right now). ” Gulabo Sitabo is Ayushmann’s first film with the 77-year-old actor.
Ayushmann plays the role of Baankey, aka Sitabo – a clever young tenant, not so wealthy and rash, still at odds with Big B’s character, Mirza, the incumbent Sitabo, who is an elderly and grumpy landlord. Referring to their endless exchanges in the film and their characters, Ayushmann added: “Gulabo Sitabo mein mere samne bataur kalakar yeh hasti khadi thi aur kirdaro ki prabritti aise thi ki hume ek doosre ko bahut ‘sehna’ padha. Waise asal mein meri kya mazal ki principal unke samne kuchh bowl paid. Iss vishamyakari anubhav ke liye principal Shoojit da ka dhannyavad karna chahunga ke unhone mujhe Amitabh Bachchan jaise mahanayak ke saath ek frame mein dikhaya. Dada, aap simple guru hate. (In Gulabo Sitabo, in front of me as a co-star was this person, and the nature of the characters was such that we had to “tolerate” ourselves a lot. But in reality, I dare say something in front of him. I would like to thank Shoojit da for this incredible experience, that he thought I was worthy of sharing the setting with a megastar like Amitabh Bachchan. “Ayushmann’s first film Vicky donor was directed by Shoojit Sircar.
Before the film was released, Mr. Bachchan made the headlines for his response to the interviewer, who casually referring to Ayushmann as “a rising star”. “The correction, Ayushmann Khurrana, is not a rising star. It is a very high prominent star, at the height of its name Ayushmann, which means long duration and longevity.” In the past two years, Ayushmann Khurrana has appeared in five films, all of which have received public and critical outcry. In the past two years, Ayushmann films such as AndhaDhun, Badhaai Ho, Dream Girl and Bala crossed the 100 rupee mark at the box office.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Amitabh Bachchan Gulabo Sitabo had a world premiere on Amazon Prime today. In his review for GalacticGaming, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote this about the on-screen camaraderie of Ayushmann and Mr. Bachchan: “Amitabh Bachchan is a hoot and a half like Mirza, a man who is visibly weighed down by time but refuses to give up the world., who hides his inadequacies with a cultivated air of nonchalance. He revives a character you can only care about. “
