Refreshing to be on the sets, says Ayushmann Khurrana about his return to work

Ayushmann Khurrana returned to work early last month to shoot three new advertisements in his hometown of Chandigarh in Punjab amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I have shot multiple things while being in my hometown and it has been super smooth for me shooting with the crew, who are also based out of Chandigarh. It's really refreshing to be on the sets and working after so many months," Khurrana told the news agency ANI.

He added, "It took some time to get used to and control the paranoia of the virus but I think I'm fully focused to work now, of course with all safety measures."

Meanwhile, Khurrana is all set to start the shoot for his next romantic film with director Abhishek Kapoor. "I'm starting to shoot for my progressive love story with Abhishek Kapoor in October and I'm looking forward to being on a film set again. It feels like we are all making movies in another lifetime," he said.

Vaani Kapoor has been signed opposite Khurrana. The untitled film will see the actor play a cross-functional athlete. 

Khurrana is confident that the industry will take all the necessary steps to start again after the prolonged lockdown. "If the entire production takes all the necessary and possible precautions, it minimizes the risk to a really great extent. We have to all work towards restarting our industry," he said.
