Ayushmann Khurrana's Impersonation Of Female Voice: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana is known for his versatile skills, including the remarkable ability to adapt his voice to suit various characters. In 2019, he amazed audiences by lending a female voice for his character in the movie 'Dream Girl.' In the film, Ayushmann portrayed a hotline operator who skilfully transformed his voice into that of a woman to entice men. And now, he's gearing up to extend the franchise with a sequel to the film.
During a conversation with ANI, Ayushmann shared insights into the preparations he undertook to embody the character of Pooja in the 'Dream Girl' franchise. "My radio jockey and theatre stint really helped me greatly, especially in this film. I used to make prank calls as a woman when I was working at the radio station. Moreover, I used to call my first girlfriend and would pretend to be her female friend if her dad picked up the landline," he reminisced.
'Dream Girl 2' is helmed by director Raaj Shaandilyaa. Following the release of the first instalment in 2019, the sequel is scheduled for a theatrical debut on August 25.
During the interview, Ayushmann also shared insights about the sequel's content, mentioning that both he and producer Ekta Kapoor aimed to make it "funnier" than its predecessor. He emphasised that the new instalment is like a 2.0 version, promising double the fun for the audience.
Speaking further about the film, he told ANI earlier, "Our director, Raaj Shandilya, who is also one of the most talented directors of comedy, has managed to get this eclectic bunch of fantastic actors under one roof and kudos to him for this casting coup. Our producer Ekta Kapoor had the vision that she wanted to create a disruptive comedy like no other and I couldn't be happier to have creatively collaborated with one of the best minds in the business in 'Dream Girl' and 'Dream Girl 2.'
"Together, I think we have created a comedy like no other. There was never a dull moment on set. It was a laugh riot and I think this will get translated on screen when people watch Dream Girl 2 in theatres on August 25th! I want people to laugh their hearts out when they watch our film."
In 'Dream Girl 2,' Ayushmann will be joined by a cast that includes Ananya Panday, Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Manjot Singh, Vijay Raaz, Seema Pahwa, Asrani, and Abhishek Banerjee.
