The actor says the project subtly talks of breaking societal stereotypes by putting a man in a woman’s world
With his choices in films, Ayushmann Khurrana has proved that he is one star who can be counted on to back disruptive content that sparks a social conversation. His upcoming movie, Dream Girl, which has him speaking in a woman’s voice and dressed as Goddess Seeta and Draupadi, has already created a buzz with the trailer. The actor says the project subtly talks of breaking societal stereotypes by putting a man in a woman’s world.
“Dream Girl, in its own way, is about gender fluidity in society. We have always spoken about a woman in a man’s world and this film reverses that equation on its head and puts a man in a woman’s world as a social experiment. My character is absolutely okay doing what is traditionally looked at as a girl’s job and doesn’t feel awkward about doing it,” says the National Award-winning actor.
The Article 15 star strongly believes in the immediate need for society to champion equality among genders. “Even a girl in today’s world should feel absolutely okay to chase her dreams and take up a job of her choice without thinking of societal stereotypes or consequences. That’s the kind of society I would like to live in, celebrate and champion. The power to create equality is with us and we need to ensure that gender doesn’t come at play at any cost. Women are equal to men and that’s what we should always strive to achieve in everyday life to see an effective change.”
Having become the go-to star for quirky scripts or stories with social messages, Ayushmann feels that audiences expect him to disrupt content with every single film. “I’m loving this expectation. It’s great to know that they expect me to do good cinema. It’s good pressure to have and always motivates me to discover and endorse some of the best scripts that are being written in our industry. I’m truly fortunate that audiences are placing their trust in me to be the torchbearer of good cinema in India,” he shares.
