Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana has headed to Bhopal to start shooting for his next, an out and out entertainer called Doctor G. He flew out of Mumbai today and will shoot for over a month in the central Indian city.

A trade source says, "Ayushmann Khurrana's next Doctor G has become the talk of the industry because of its brilliant script and Ayushmann's involvement with this project. Everyone knows that Ayushmann is the gold standard of content in India and he only picks up films that is are disruptive and never done before in Indian cinema. Doctor G again is one such script that will present Ayushmann in a super fresh way and appeal to audiences across India."

While talking to mid-day.com recently, when asked about the pandemic and the lockdown, the actor stated, "I'm a firm believer that the pandemic and lockdowns have made us more opinionated than before, and that people will only want to invest time and energy on things that are unique. They will want to have community experiences that are worthwhile," said Khurrana. Citing the example of Article 15 (2019) that bravely spoke about the caste system in India, he says that filmmakers will need to present "disruptive content for people to enjoy, engage and discuss."

The actor, who has 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui', 'Anek' and 'Doctor G' in the pipeline, emphasises that quality content will be key to revive the theatrical business. "The scale of a film will be immaterial because content will take precedence. People have already been exposed to brilliant stories from across the world. So, they need a huge incentive to go to a theatre, and content will play this crucial role."
