Ayushmann reveals how he transformed into Pooja for 'Dream Girl'

The video begins with glimpses from Ayushmann's van, wherein he is seen getting his make-up done for Pooja's role.

It was certainly not a cakewalk for him, who used to take almost three and a half hours to get ready before the shoot.

Recalling the struggle, Ayushmann stated that while performing with hair-extensions was difficult, he also had to shave his beard regularly.

However, Ayushmann feels one should go all out for the sake of entertainment.

He also highlighted that Pooja's character gave him an "elbow room" to experiment a lot - be it with looks, the latkas-jhatkas or the voice tones.

Talking more about voice modulations, he revealed that he had dubbed twice for the female version of his character, in the movie.

Ayushmann further stated that he gave around ten different takes for Pooja's character, before achieving the legit female voice for the movie.

Apparently, he has dubbed 25% of the dialogs in that voice.

Well, given the efforts as shown in the video, it will be quite interesting to see how the movie fares at the box office, post its release on September 13.

Apart from this, Ayushmann is also working on an upcoming sequel to his 2017 release, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan.

Titled as Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, the movie will be a gay comedy, to be helmed by Aanand L. Rai.

Besides, there are reports about a sequel to his 2018 release Badhaai Ho, which also features Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao and Sanya Malhotra in lead.
