“My Radio jockey and theatre stint really helped me greatly, especially in this film. I used to make prank calls as a woman when I was working at the radio station. Moreover, I used to call my first girlfriend and would pretend to be her female friend if her dad picked up the landline.”

Ayushmann was recently in Delhi for the launch of the song, Dil Ka Telephone 2.0 and during one of the media interactions, he revealed how difficult it was for him to switch roles between Karam and Pooja. Talking about the same, he said:
“The 2.0 version of ‘Dream Girl’ is not just about the voice, its also about the ‘being’. Its transformation, look, and after shooting for this film I have realised it’s too difficult to be a woman. Ladki bannaa bahot mushkil hai, or Ladki hona usse bhi jyada mushkil. Its all for feminism.”
Recipient of a National Award and four Filmfare awards, Ayushmann won millions of hearts with his debut performance in Vicky Donor. After winning the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut, he stunned everyone with his performances in movies like Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Badhaai Ho, Andhadhun, and Article 15.
