North vs South mindset isn't the right step forward: Ayushmann Khurrana
I've found my niche is championing real men who are endearing, relatable, and flawed, but also heroic. It has not narrowed my choices. It's my personal ambition to be very original, says Ayushmann. Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana was recently in Ooty, shooting for Thama (the forthcoming film in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe), and spoke to us about his experience filming for the first time in Tamil Nadu, why there shouldn't be a north vs. south mindset in the film industry, on Hindi cinema's evolution in the post-pandemic era and more… Have the lines between the north and the south film industries blurred of late? The north vs. south mindset isn't the right step forward for the Indian film industry. We're moving towards a more unified Indian film industry. It's an exciting time to be an actor, as collaboration is becoming the cornerstone for change. We saw what Atlee did with SRK in Jawan and what Nag Ashwin did by bringing together Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan sir in one frame! These projects are bringing together the best of both worlds! Your films like Vicky Donor , Article 15 , Andhaadhun , and Badhaai Ho have been remade in Tamil. Have you seen any of these? What did you think about them? I have seen some of the remakes, but I can definitely say that these films being remade in the South is definitely a moment of incredible appreciation for me as an artiste. There is no bigger validation than seeing my films crossing over and entertaining people across my country. Any south film that you'd love to remake? I'm not really a believer of remaking films. I feel once a film is made, we should let that be. It's my personal choice to not look for remakes and keep an eye on new and unique concepts that people have never seen me in before. I'm sure there are a lot of films that could be remade in Hindi, but I would love to do original content, like how I've been doing so far. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo You're working with Rashmika Mandanna, who is from the south. Do you see any difference between working with an artiste from the south vis-à-vis someone from Bollywood? Working with Rashmika has been a delight. She brings a fresh energy to the set, which is needed when you have hectic shoot days. She ensures she knows all the nuances of her scene before she steps on set. Her work ethic is incredible. In terms of the acting process, every actor has a different process and that is not restricted to the industry they come from — but what remains constant is the commitment to the craft. These days, we routinely hear that Hindi cinema is no longer the force it used to be. Do you think there's truth in this opinion? Hindi cinema delivered all-time blockbusters with Pathaan , Jawan , and Animal in a span of 12 months. We also had Stree 2 and Chhaava recently. I guess that answers the question! Every industry goes through its churn, and Hindi cinema, like any industry, is going through an evolution where it will shape a new identity in a post-pandemic world. What's your take on the notion that the films that were successful before COVID, especially the ones revolving around middleclass lives, aren't theatre-friendly anymore? The pandemic has precipitated a change in content viewing patterns. No one wants to watch something that's been seen before or, for lack of a better word, vanilla. Anything mediocre won't work anymore. To me, that's exciting because it gets us out of our comfort zone. Look at Laapataa Ladies , 12th Fail , The Kerala Story , Munjya or Sita Ramam — these were rooted stories, not hugely budgeted extravaganzas, and they still found their audience. So, if the story hits home, people will show up. You have an identity as a representative of the middle-class man. Has this image narrowed the stories that come to you? I've found my niche is championing real men who are endearing, relatable, and flawed, but also heroic. It has not narrowed my choices. It's my personal ambition to be very original. A good film will bring in audiences, and I try to look for the best scripts that our industry is making. In Thama , the audience will see me in a different avatar yet find the quirk that they see in my movies, which has become my calling card! On his experience shooting in Ooty... Ooty provided the perfect backdrop for Thama . Every time you turn your head, you see greenery and mountains covered with clouds. This is also the first film I have shot in Tamil Nadu. I have always been a fan of the hospitality and culture of the state. We had a tight schedule, so I didn't get time to visit popular spots in Ooty. However, I had good local cuisine. I can't wait to return and visit the place properly.

'Mera Jee Jala…': When Nawazuddin Siddiqui bought his daughter a Rs 2.5 Lakh Bag, Despite Calling It a Waste of Money
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his grounded nature, recently shared an amusing anecdote about his daughter's expensive taste. He recounted a shopping trip in Dubai where his daughter picked out a handbag costing a staggering Rs 2.5 lakh, leaving him surprised. Despite his reservations about the extravagance, Nawazuddin, like a doting father, ultimately purchased the bag for her. In an industry known for its glitz and glamour, actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has always stood apart — not just for his stellar performances, but also for his grounded, no-frills personality. Known for his humble beginnings and candid honesty, Nawazuddin recently shared a moment that struck a chord with many parents navigating the generational divide between simplicity and luxury. In a candid interaction with Curly Tales, the Sacred Games actor spoke about a personal incident involving his daughter that left him both amused and exasperated. 'My daughter Shora lives in DUbai. One day, she told me she wanted to buy a bag. I thought — how expensive could it be? Maybe Rs 15,000–Rs 20,000. These days, everything is expensive,' Nawaz recounted. But what followed was a classic generational clash of expectations. The actor, who comes from modest beginnings in a small Uttar Pradesh village, accompanied his daughter to a mall in Dubai. Inside a luxury store, she picked up a bag of her choice. 'I was okay till then. But when I asked for the price — it was Rs 2.5 lakh. Mera itna jee jala…,' Nawaz said with a wry smile. For Nawazuddin, who grew up in a time and environment where bags ranging from Rs 500- Rs 600 to Rs 2000-Rs 300 the idea of spending a quarter of a million rupees on a handbag felt like an unimaginable extravagance. Yet, like many doting fathers, he gave in. 'It's a waste of money, actually. But I bought it for her,' he admitted. Nawaz would be next seen in Dinesh Vijan backed Thama which will see him crossing swords with Ayushmann Khurrana , Rashmika Mandanna and Paresh Rawal . The film is slated to hit the theaters on Diwali and would be in all possibility clashing with Kartik Aaryan 's yet to be titled film with Sreeleela- directed by Anurag Basu .
