‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ is quirky, says Ayushmann Khurrana

Actor-singer Ayushmann Khurrana, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming romantic comedy Dum Laga Ke Haisha, says the movie offers a unique flavour.

“Dum Laga Ke Haisha is a quirky and different film. I’m playing a simpleton from Uttar Pradesh, [who] lives in Haridwar, Rishikesh ... is an uneducated person and a failure in life. He runs an audio cassettes shop, and the film is set in 1994,” Khurrana said at a promotional event in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Talking further about his character, Khurrana said: “He is a fan of singer Kumar Sanu. The film’s music is fantastic. It is a fun film.”

Directed by Sharat Katariya, Dum Laga Ke Haisha is set to hit theatres on February 27. It stars debutante Bhumi Pednekar as a female lead.

The film tells the story of Prem Prakash Tiwari, played by Khurrana, who unwillingly marries a fat girl.
