Mumbai:
Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has denied reports of walking out of Aanand L Rai's Manmarziyan, saying he would love to be a part of the film whenever it is made.
Rumours were rife that Ayushmann had abandoned the project, reportedly also starring Bhumi Pednekar, which seems to have hit a roadblock.
"No, not at all (not opted of the film). In the case of Manmarziyan, the director was replaced and then I got busy with Meri Pyaari Bindu. Even Bhumi got busy with her next film. The dates were not matching and it got delayed. If we get time in the future, we should do that film," Ayushmann told PTI.
Manmarziyan was announced in January this year with Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana director Sameer Sharma, but apparently, the latter was shown the door due to creative differences between Aanand and Sameer.
Nil Battey Sannata director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari then came on board. The shooting, reportedly, was to resume in late July but the weather played a spoilsport.
Besides this film, there were reports that Ayushmann's two other films - Shoojit Sircar's football film 1911 and Hamara Bajaj - have also been shelved.
Ayushmann was to be seen in 1911 alongside John Abraham, and opposite Yami Gautam in Hamara Bajaj. He was likely to play a footballer in 1911 and a struggling actor in Hamara Bajaj.
"I think both films are not happening. I think at the script level Shoojitda was not happy so we did not go ahead," he said.
