Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana on Saturday praised actress Richa Chadha for her performance in Masaan and expressed happiness over the rise in women-oriented films.
“I watched Masaan, and I was zapped by Richa Chadha’s performance — she is brilliant in this film. She was also great in Gangs of Wassyepur. I am glad we have women-oriented films coming more in numbers these days,” he said ahead of an event in Bengaluru.
“The film talks about women’s emancipation and highlights issues of gender parity and equality,” he added.
Khurrana said Masaan, like his movie Dum Laga Ke Haisha, is a small-town story.
“I am glad that films like Masaan [are] being made more and more. The story is narrated in a rural setup... they received laurels and accolades globally and [the movie] is worth watching,” he said.
Khurrana said he wants to do more films like Masaan. “Of course, I want to do more such kind of films — I had done Vicky Donor and my last film Dum Laga Ke Haisha were similar films,” he said.
