Ayushmann Khurrana took to Twitter today to tease his fans with the title of his next film. He posted a combination of emojis - a monkey covering its eyes and musical notes -hinting at the title.
He tweeted, "Guess the title of my next film directed by Sriram Raghavan ??" Khurrana will be pairing up with director Sriram Raghavan, who has helmed flicks such as 'Badlapur', 'Johnny Gaddaar', and 'Agent Vinod'.
Here are a few of the guesses that his fans took -
While the actor has not confirmed it yet, DNA had earlier reported that Sriram Raghavan's directorial has been titled 'Shoot The Piano Player'. Ayushmann, who recently wrapped up 'Badhaai Ho', will play the role of a visually impaired pianist in the film. He is expected to shoot the climax of the film next month in London.
Talking about working with the Badlapur director, Ayushmann said, “Sriram will leave you open with a certain situation in the film — you have to react to it and up your game. Also, for the role, I took piano lessons. Being a musician helped, but learning an instrument from scratch was not easy.”
On being asked if he took references from any films or characters to prep for the role, he replied, “I preferred to meet a real-life visually-impaired pianist. His life is the correct reference. I spent a lot of time with him, studied his body language, the way he reacts to situations, marks himself on the piano and more.”
Khuranna was last seen in the sleeper hit 'Bareilly ki Barfi' with Kriti Sanon. He will next be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Badhaai Ho' opposite Sanya Malhotra.
