Ayushmann Khurrana playing scientist Shivkar Talpade in his next

"Vicky Donor" star Ayushmann Khurrana is excited to play eminent Maharashtrian scientist Shivkar Talpade in an untitled biopic at such an early stage of his career. 

Ayushmann is taking Marathi lessons to portray Talpade, who is believed to have constructed and flown India's first unmanned airplane much before the Wright brothers. 

"I am doing a biopic and it's always interesting to be a part of such films. I always wanted to do a biopic. I am happy that I am doing a good mix of films at such an early stage of my career. Our scriptwriter is a Marathi and he gives me tips to learn Marathi as it is really a difficult task for a Punjabi," Ayushmann told PTI in an interview. 

The biopic, produced by Guneet Monga and directed by debutante filmmaker Vibhu Puri, will go on floor early next year. 

The 29-year-old actor, who was last seen in Rohan Sippy's "Nautanki Saala", has also finished shooting his Yash Raj film "Bewakoofiyan" opposite Sonam Kapoor. 

Ayushmann will be seen in six-pack-abs for the love-story. John Abraham's trainer Vinod Channa helped the actor get the chiselled look. 

"'Bewakoofiyan' is a love-story set in the backdrop of recession. It was not difficult for me to don the six-packs because I am naturally thin but I had to go through rigorous training for some months. 

"There are loads of pool shots in the film and for that I had to have a fit body. Sonam will also be seen in a bikini this time," he said. 

Ayushmann, who has sung in his previous films, refused to divulge whether he has lent his voice in "Bewakoofiyan" too but he is happy that his latest Hindi-Punjabi single "O Heeriye" is being received well by the audience. 

"It feels great. In fact, it was a challenge for us to make this work because independent music doesn't have a market in India. Most of the radio stations and music channels don't support Indie music till now. The only platform is online and digital," said Ayushmann, who took training in classical music in his childhood days. 

Ayushmann, however, is too busy with his acting career to take music forward. 

"I am not that versatile as a singer. I am better as a lyricist and composer. My voice suits a particular genre and that is soft rock. I don't think I will be able to explore much with my voice but with my compositions and lyrics, I will definitely explore," he said.

Ayushmann Khurrana develops six-pack abs for YRF movie!

 Actor Ayushmann Khurrana reveals he has developed a six-pack for his new film under the Yash Raj Films (YRF) banner. He plays a squash player in the movie.

The 'Vicky Donor' star has flaunted the perfect abs on the cover of Men's Health magazine's latest issue.

"This (the abs) is of course, for my next film Yash Raj Films project with Sonam Kapoor. I have some body shots in the film. I play a squash player, so that was the need of the character," the 28-year-old said here at the launch of the magazine cover.

The six-pack mania became popular in Bollywood courtesy actors like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Ranveer Singh.

Ayushmann believes everyone builds abs for one reason or the other.

"I think nobody builds or tries to build abs without any reason. It's quite difficult, it's not easy. It is for a particular character," he said.

Ayushmann believes being fit definitely contributes to a person's confidence, irrespective of the profession he is in.

"I was very skinny as a kid and I was not as confident as I am right now. I was just another kid in the class and it was an all boys school, so I never used to crave for attention."

"...It's not just about being in the industry. Anybody, be it a journalist or a cameraperson, if that person is fit, naturally that person will be confident," he added.

Ayushmann's debut film 'Vicky Donor' recently fetched him the best debut award at the recently held International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA).

He is currently shooting for the new YRF project, while the shoot of 'Hamara Bajaj' is delayed and it is expected to start only next year.
