Ayushmann Khurrana says “Pooja in Dream Girl 2 is an ode” to Kamal Haasan, Aamir Khan and Govinda for playing female characters on screen

Portraying the role of a woman is no easy feat, and leading the way has been cinematic legends like Kamal Haasan in Chachi 420, Govinda in Aunty No 1 and Aamir Khan in Baazi. These actors have continued to push boundaries with their craft and have served remarkable performances to the audiences, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.

Talking about the same Ayushmann Khurra shares, “True disruptors of cinema are my cinematic inspirations and what Kamal Haasan sir did in Chachi 420, Aamir Khan sir did in Baazi and Govinda sir did in Aunty No 1 are truly defining moments for an actor. I was mesmerised and blown away, looking at how brilliant they are to pull off playing a woman on screen. It was mind-boggling, to say the least. So, for Dream Girl and now Dream Girl 2, I would say that they have inspired me to even attempt to pull off a character who dresses up as a woman when stuck in a situation that leads to a comedy of errors. My character of Pooja in Dream Girl 2 is an ode to these brilliant actors and the magic and entertainment they have provided to people in theatres."

He further adds, "I hope people love my performance in Dream Girl 2. I have worked very hard to bring Pooja to audiences. I love to watch people smile when they come to watch a film, and I hope Dream Girl 2 delivers this to the maximum." Helmed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the film is expected to release on August 25.
