Ayushmann Khurrana Accepted ‘Vicky Donor’ Role Out Of Desperation

Many well-known performers turned down the role in Vicky Donor, according to screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi. Ayushmann Khurrana “was desperate (for a film) then, and we were too,” Juhi added in a recent interview. She claimed that Shoojit Sircar was the only person who could make a film about sperm donation.

Juhi stated, as reported by India Today, “There was a sense of fear when I wrote Vicky Donor. There was fear of whether I could write it. The topic (sperm donation) was such that no one but Shoojit Sircar could have done it. Many established actors said no to Vicky Donor, In a way, it was good as it made us desperate. We got Ayushmann Khurrana, He was desperate (for a film) then and we were too.”
