Ayushmann Khurrana was ‘desperate' for film 'Vicky Donor', screenwriter claims
Ayushmann Khurrana starrer film ‘Vicky Donor’ story is based on the taboo topic 'sperm donation'
Vicky Donor screenwriter Juhi Chaturvedi has revealed that many established actors refused to do the film, but on the other hand, Ayushmann Khurrana was ‘desperate’ for a film.
Ayushmann starrer film Vicky Donor story is based on the taboo topic ‘sperm donation’. The film was released in 2012.
Talking to India Today, Juhi said: "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."
She further said: "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."
"When I write, it does not matter if I am a man or a woman. Dimag ka ya buddhi ka koi gender nahi hota (There is no gender of the brain or intelligence). Sensitivity does not have a gender. If I am a woman, it does not mean that I will have sensitivity, Just the same way, if there is a man, it does not mean that he will write rashly," She added.
