Ayushmann Khurrana to be seen next in a campus comedy-drama titled ‘Doctor G’

With two successful collaborations ‘Bareily Ki Barfi (2017)’ and ‘Badhaai Ho’ (2018) under their belt, both Ayushmann Khurrana & Junglee Pictures are coming together with their next movie titled ‘Doctor G’, to create magic yet again.

Ayushmann says, “Doctor G is a script that I fell in love with instantly because it is super fresh. It is an extremely unique and an innovative concept that will make you laugh and also make you ponder. I’m excited to don the doctor’s coat for the first time in my career and also deliver a message in the process that will hopefully speak directly to your hearts.”

To be directed by Anubhuti Kashyap, this film is a campus comedy-drama where the main protagonist will be seen playing a doctor. It’s been a while since that has happened in Hindi films and with Ayushmann playing ‘Doctor G’, the wait is definitely going to be worth Anubhuti Kashyap, who is all set to make her feature debut with this film shares, “I am stepping into my filmmaking journey with all my passion and this project has me thrilled to be on sets. I am looking forward to working with Junglee Pictures and the ever so versatile & talented Ayushmann. This film is definitely exciting because it appeals to both the younger & the family audiences equally.”

Amrita Pandey, CEO Junglee Pictures adds, “We are thrilled to partner with Anubhuti on Doctor G as her first feature film. The creative development team at Junglee along with the writers of the film Sumit, Vishal, Saurabh and Anubhuti have developed this high concept and superbly entertaining script that we can’t wait to bring to life. Ayushmann will elevate the experience even more with this 3rd outing with Junglee.”

Ayushmann excited on reuniting with Junglee adds, “Junglee’s vision towards storytelling excites me. Their focus has always been towards high concept films which matches with my thinking as an artist. We have had two very successful outings before and I’m hoping Doctor G will be a hat-trick of hits for us. Anubhuti’s vision for the film is mind-blowing and I’m sure it will be super fun to creatively collaborate with her.”

The movie ‘Doctor G’ featuring Ayushmann Khurrana as the lead protagonist is co-written and directed by Anubhuti Kashyap. She has directed dark comedy mini-series ‘Afsos’ (Amazon Prime) and acclaimed short film, ‘Moi Marjaani’. The film is written by Sumit Saxena, Vishal Wagh and Saurabh Bharat, who interestingly is a doctor-turned-writer and has drawn inspiration from his medical college life experiences. Saxena, who has written films like ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ and Karan Johar’s ‘Lust Stories’, has also penned the dialogues of this film.
