Viral: When Ayushmann Khurrana was told by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions they only work with stars

It has been days since Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide, but there is no evidence talking about the burning question 'why'. Among many speculations, one is that Karan Johar along with many renowned industry names, isolated the late actor, banning him from work. During such a time, an excerpt from Ayushmann Khurrana's book where the actor recollected Dharma Productions telling him they casted 'only stars' has been going viral.

In the small part of the book excerpt, Ayushmann revealed that he was going to make his debut with Dharma Productions. He recalled meeting Karan Johar, who gave him a telephone number (his office number). According to the viral interview, when Ayushmann reached out to them, Dharma stalled him and eventually ended up telling him that they 'only work with stars and thus cannot work with him.'

Here's the viral quote:

Ayushmann, who eventually made his debut with Shoojit Sircar's 'Vicky Donor', went on to win many acclaims for the movie. His singing career also took off simultaneously after he crooned 'Paani Da Rang' in the movie. Beginning his career with 'Roadies', Ayushmann has come a long way and become a National-Award winner for 'AndhaDhun'. Co-incidentally the actor's latest Amazon Prime release 'Gulabo Sitabo' has also been helmed by Shoojit. Ayushmann has also appeared on Karan Johar's previous season of 'Koffee With Karan'.

Sushant Singh Rajput, on the other hand, had his last release as 'Drive' which co-starred Jacqueline Fernandez and was produced by Karan Johar. The movie, which was a Netflix release, did not fare as expected. Sushant's last hit was 'Chhichhore', and the actor was going to be seen in 'Dil Bechara', the Hindi adaptation of 'The Fault In Our Stars'.
