If Ayushmann Khurrana ever wants to give up being in front of the camera, he seems all set to rock it from behind the lens too. Our sources tell us that Ayushmann recently assisted Shoojit Sircar for ten days – as an assistant director – on the sets of Madras Cafe.
The crucial scene between John Abraham, Siddharth Basu and a few other cast members was shot in Cochi.
Says Shoojit Sircar, “Ayushmann had told me during Vicky Donor that if the film tanked and he didn’t get any work thereafter, he would assist me. But the film worked and he became a star. However, to get a better hang of direction, he did join us for a few days on the sets of Madras Cafe and proved to be a talented assistant.”
Says Ayushmann Khurana, “I wish I could be there for all forty days of the Madras Cafe shoot. Shoojit has a fabulous set up. It was fascinating to see actors from a different point of view.I hope this experience results in making me a better actor.”
