'It takes a very talented man to play a woman onscreen': Ekta Kapoor on his 'Dream Girl' Ayushmann Khurrana

The makers of Raaj Shaandilyaa's Dream Girl recently released the trailer of the comedy-drama. The film that features Ayushmann Khurrana and Nushrat Bharucha in the lead roles is touted to be an out and out comedy film. This will be the first time Nushrat and Ayushmann get to share screen space. Nushrat plays the role of a small-town girl in the film while Ayushmann respires the role of a Radio Jockey who impresses everyone with his girly voice as Puja. 

At the trailer launch event, producer of the film, Ekta Kapoor was asked why she cast Ayushmann. The producer shared, "Ayushmann was not my dream girl (laughs). I wanted an actor who could do justice to the script. Ruchika and I discussed and I was certain that Ayushmann bets on the script so that needs to be strong.” She went on to add, “It takes a very talented man to play a woman onscreen."
