Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has signed another project-a film with director Abhishek Kapoor. The filmmaker had made Kedarnath starring Sushant Singh Rajput. The film will see the Andhadhun actor play a ‘cross-functional athlete’ and is all set to be a love story.

Sharing more about the film, Ayushmann told Bombay Times, “Abhishek has a distinct voice in cinema today, and I’m glad that we finally got the opportunity to work together on a project that’s close to my heart. This beautiful love story will take viewers on an emotional roller-coaster ride and it is a total family entertainer.”

Ayushmann will have to undergo a major transformation for his role. “I have never attempted a look like this on screen before and I’m already looking forward to seeing the reaction of audiences. The process is going to be intense and excruciating, but I feel that the pain will be worth it,” he said.

Abhishek is looking forward to the project. “This film is special for both Ayushmann and me. We want audiences to come back to theatres and watch movies as a community. And, we will spare no effort to achieve that,” he said.

Apart from this, Ayushmann also has a film with Anubhav Sinha, with whom he worked in Article 15. Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh has announced, “IT’S OFFICIAL… After #Mulk, #Article15 and #Thappad… Anubhav Sinha to direct #AyushmannKhurrana… An action thriller [not titled yet]… 16 Oct 2020 release. Anubhav and Ayushmann reunite after the much-acclaimed and successful #Article15.”

Article 15 garnered great critical acclaim and was a commercial hit. The upcoming film was based on India’s caste divide and how a big town, upper caste cop arrives in rural Uttar Pradesh to find how deeply the caste system has infested the country’s roots. He sets out to solve a rape and murder case in the town while fighting against the corrupt judicial system and the abuse of power.
