Sidharth Malhotra’s latest outing, ‘Ittefaq’ banked by major production houses of Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan is performing averagely at the Box office. Though the film, also starring Sonakshi Sinha and Akshaye Khanna have been critically praised, it is Akshaye Khanna who is sweeping away with the accolades. With a good acting potential to his credit, Sidharth’s position as a bankable star has started to weaken, unlike his peers. Rumour has it that Sidharth Malhotra has lost out on a quirky comedy film by a renowned production house and Ayushmann Khurrana has been roped in. The production house, bankrolling this comedy, has already delivered a sleeper hit with Ayushmann. With hits like ‘Bareilly ki Barfi’ and ‘Shubh Mangal Savdhan’ to his credit and his spectacular performances in films like ‘Vicky Donor’ amongst others, the star’s demand amongst the producers has increased.

Confirming about the same, a source told Deccan Chronicle, “Sidharth Malhotra’s disastrous run at the box office with Baar Baar Dekho and A Gentleman had put the makers of the film in doubt of his capability to attract audiences. The underwhelming opening and weekend run of Ittefaq was the final nail in the coffin and the team decided to replace Sidharth with Ayushmann Khurrana.”

“Over time Ayushmann has acquired an audience base in the genre of comedy and is currently considered a more bankable star than Sidharth by film producers,” added the source.

However, in his latest interview to mid-day, Sidharth spoke about Akshaye Khanna having a meatier role than him in ‘Ittefaq’. He said, “The length of a role is the least of my concerns when I green-light a script. In Ittefaq, the story is told by Akshaye Khanna, who has a sizeable part in the movie. Since I don’t belong to a film family, I never get into the insecure zone. Personally, I am not the one to eat into someone’s work or role. It’s always better to work with better actors. I am upping my game.”

The actor is proud of his career choices. “For me, stories matter the most. In films like Brothers and Aiyaary, I was clear that I wanted those parts to make my resume stronger,” says Malhotra. He adds that he wants to experiment with different genres. “This is the time to test the waters. I am reacting to stories rather than if I am going to get to hog the limelight.”

On the professional front, Sidharth Malhotra is occupied with Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Aiyaary’ alongside Manoj Bajpayee and South sensation Rakul Preet. Ayushmann, on the other hand, is shooting for Sriram Raghvan’s ‘Shoot the Piano Player’, co-starring Tabu and Radhika Apte.

Rajkumar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana and Kriti SanonRajkumar Rao, Ayushmann Khurrana and Kriti Sanon

Bitti, Chirag Dubey and Pritam Vidrohi aka Kriti Sanon, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkumar Rao took to the streets of Delhi to explore the delicacies and the local stalls for shopping.

The actors had a great time immersing into the colors of Delhi as they roamed around on the streets. Kriti Sanon and Rajkummar Rao both hailing from Delhi had an upper hand at the escapade.

Kriti Sanon engrossed herself into buying the ‘Dilli ka Jhumka’ while the boys got bored. The trio had a fun conversation with the vendors which is a testimony of the friendly equation they share, as they were seen pulling each others’ legs.

Each time Kriti Sanon would try Jhumkas and ask her co stars for their opinions they would turn back and say, “”Khareed le, khareed le, bahut achha lag raha hai!” Bored looking at Kriti buying her Jhumkas, the guys asked the shopkeeper, “Bhaiya, aapke paas ladko ke liye kuch nahin hai kya? Yahan ladke nahin aate?” To which the shopkeeper was quick to reply, “Aate hai na. Aise hi ladkiyon ke saath aate hain”.

Rajkummar Rao continued asking, “Aur lete kuch nahin? Ladkon ke liye kya hai?” The vendor then showed them bracelets which were popular among men, to which the actor replied, “We can shoplift some of these very easily”. The actor also revealed his mischievous side saying, “Haven’t you? I’ve done that many times. But only sportingly”. Backing his co star or pulling his leg though, Ayushmann Khurrana said, “Yes, this is like adventure sports for him!”

The actors then moved forward to ‘Dilli Haat’. Sharing her experience Kriti Sanon said, “I have been to Dilli Haat only twice or thrice before. Pehle hi aana hua hai, uske baad toh aana band ho gaya tha yahan. Though it is hot in Delhi, we really like it. I think coming to Dilli Haat is like coming to the real Delhi– you get silver and junk jewellery, golgappas, chaat papdi, all at one place. The best thing is that you get to see Dilli ki janta here.” The trio also indulged into hogging on some golgappas.

While the guys were happy with anything being served, just like very another girl Kriti Sanon had specifications, “I want chhote golgappe, suji wala golgappa de dijiye”. Sadly, the golgappa wala did not have Suji ke golgappe and Kriti refused to eat anything else. After the Jhumkas and Golgappas, the next halt for the trio was the shoe stall. Showcasing his Dilli ka knowledge, Rajkummar shared, “”If I feel like buying some local stuff, I go to Janpath or Sarojini Nagar. In fact, when I was in college, I used to go to Sarojini a lot for shopping”.

On their adventures in Delhi, the trio further explored the Shankar Market. While we know that Rajkummar Rao plays a salesman at the saree store in the film, he had learnt to drape a saree, but the actor seems to have forgotten it. He said, “Yes, I had learned how to drape a sari, but it’s been a year, ab toh main bhool gaya”. But his co star stepped in to help him, Ayushmann Khurrana quickly took a saree and draped it around Rao, saying, “See, it’s so easy”.

Kriti Sanon, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Rajkummar Rao further indulged into some other delicacies. While Kriti Sanon preferred Ram Ladoo, Ayushmann Khurranna ordered a Kulfi falooda. When Kriti Sanon offered her Tikki chat to Ayushmann Khurrana, the actor gave it Rajkummar Rao calling himself a ‘Tikki Donor’.

The ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ team had a ball of a time on their tour and their trip only proves their desiness which will be depicted on the silver screen. The trailer of the film has got everyone hooked and the music of the film is winning hearts. The songs ‘Sweety Tera Drama’ and ‘Nazm Nazm’ are ruling charts. The latest song ‘Twist Kamariya’ too has been garnering appreciation for Kriti Sanon’s powerful break dance and the crackling chemistry between Bitti and Chirag.

‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ is the collaborative effort between Ashiwny Iyer Tiwari, creative producer Juno Chopra and writer Nitesh Tiwari of Dangal fame and Shreyas Jain. Nitesh Tiwari and Shreyas Jain contributed to a power packed script to Juno Chopra’s sphere headed execution while Ashiwny Iyer Tiwari captured perfect frames.

‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ brings to celluloid for the first time the team of Kriti Sanon, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao. The film is Ashiwny Iyer Tiwari’s second film as a director. Bareilly Ki Barfi is produced by Junglee Pictures and BR Studios. The film is scheduled to release on 18th August 2017.

Since the trailer of film ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ was out, people have been already looking forward to watching this film. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that it definitely looks like the entertainer of the year.

Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao, and Kriti Sanon together in this film make it a fun watch. We just got a glimpse of the movie through the trailer and we are already impressed. Rajkummar and Ayushmann’s rivalry is so spot-on that you might miss Kriti and not even realise it.

However, Kriti looks fabulous and this is the first time we will see her in this avatar. Especially, in the song ‘Sweety Tera Drama’ which we are already listening on loop. The movie is inspired from a book The Ingredients of Love by Nicolas Barreau.

The cast and the crew are being appreciated a lot for the trailer and as we look forward to the film, the cast decided to do something sweet for their fans. Just as the name suggests, the cast of the film gave a surprise visit to Tamasha, Mumbai and treated all their fans with Bareilly Ki Barfi. Check out the video yourself:

So now you can not just watch Bareilly Ki Barfi, but even taste the goodness of it!

The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on 18th August 2017.

Ayushmann Khurrana says he personally received a mixed response to his last release ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’, and believes that somehow ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ ate up the business of his film.

Asked about his reaction to the box office performance of “Meri Pyaari Bindu”, which released in May, Ayushmann told reporters here on Wednesday: “I received mixed reactions at a personal level like from my family and friends. Some people loved the film and some did not like it at all. But I think somehow ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ ate up the business of the film. May be, it would have earned more money had ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ not been in theatres at that time.” ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion”‘ which released on April 28, is the highest grossing film in India.

Ayushmann Khurrana will next be seen in ‘Bareilly ki Barfi’.
