'Was confident of my film choices'

New Delhi: He is glad to be a part of an era when talent is recognised – a fact validated with his consecutive hits in the year gone by. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana says his journey in Bollywood in the last six years has been a great learning curve in which he has gone from being cautious to being confident about his movie choices.

Asked if after successful films like Badhaai Ho and AndhaDhun, has he become too cautious with his film choices, said Ayushmann: "I have always been cautious. Initially I use to do one film a year, but now I am doing at least two."

"It is not called being cautious, but I think it is more about being true to your sensibilities. According to me, more than being cautious, it has made me braver. There is a certain self-belief, an affirmation that my choices and sensibilities are working. I would like to see that as not as being cautious but as confidence in my choices," he added.

His future projects include Dream Girl and Bala.

With back-to-back hits, does he see himself as tough competition for all the A-listers?

"These are the terms used by the media and I really don't know. All you need to focus on is your craft and how you act; and, of course, script selection, which is a primary reason for anybody's success because in today's day and age, everyone is talented irrespective of fields. It's the age of talent and it will get recognition. I am glad I am born in this era, but, at the same time, my success will totally depend on the choices I make. I am glad that my choices are working and there is a certain validation I have got in the past two years," said Ayushmann.

As an actor, he had caught attention with his debut film Vicky Donor. He also impressed the audience with his performances in Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Bareilly Ki Barfi and Shubh Mangal Savdhan.
