Aayush Sharma and Warina Hussain's debut film, LoveYatri, has already impressed people with its music and the trailer. Aayush's screen and social media presence has got him a huge fan following already and has also raised anticipation for his first film. In an interaction about LoveYatri, Aayush shares the details about the journey, aspirations and a lot more.
Talking about his decision to be an actor, Aayush said, "Everyone told me that I should be an actor. It started from college where my friends used to suggest me to choose the profession and wanted me to do TV shows. I did not know anything about acting, dancing or creative aspects of a film. But surprisingly, a few years later Sohail and Salman Khan (at different times) also told me the same, that I should be an actor. That's when I took it seriously. I did workshops and started assisting in ads and films. It opened doors and helped me understand what goes behind filmmaking. I assisted bhai (Salman Khan) in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and was happy that it got an overwhelming response. I saw that and I wanted it. He got a lot of love and I thought about the same. I really wanted what we experienced in with the film's success."
If you notice the promotions and activities closely, you will realise that Aayush is quite confident about the film. However, sharing thoughts on the feeling before the release, he said, "I'm numb and blank right now, as the release date is close. People have been loving the songs and trailer. I just hope this continues even after the release."
Aayush has assisted Salman Khan in 4 films and various advertisements, which has taught him the nuances. As per reports, he also took time to choose the script until LoveYatri came to him. Sharing his experience about the same and selecting this script, he said, "After 4 years of assisting, I got accustomed to the life on the sets. I used to mark the camera for Salman Khan and try the dialogues. After that, I used to see bhai do it, and just watching him add his part in the role, taught me a lot. I just heard what all he had to say and it gave me immense exposure about the skill. All this made me feel at home when I started LoveYatri. I was cautious with selecting the script, and I was waiting for the right film. People from the industry had a preconceived notion about me, and I wanted to break that by choosing the right script for the debut. I was very clear that I wanted to be launched as an actor and not a hero. Making me a hero is in audiences hands."
There have been talks on social media about him making a debut with Salman Khan Films, and this being a planned debut. Clearing the air, he said, "Making a debut with SKF was the most logical to me. Salman Khan makes entertaining films and he has made successful films in the past. I wanted to be a part of something he and his films stand for. I would like to be an asset for SKF in the future and if tomorrow if they can make more films with me, it'll be an honour. Salman Khan is inspirational as he works all through the year without taking a break. He has given me a lot and I'm blessed to learn everything from him. The first day on the set as an actor was exciting. I woke up with a thought that my journey starts, a beginning for numerous films. When I went on the set, there was a lot of chatter. I wanted to finish the first shot within 5 retakes. I wanted to impress everyone and I wanted them to have a faith that the actor should be able to carry this film off. I remember after the shoot, I messaged Salman Khan for this film and opportunity. He replied with a sweet message, which read, "I bless you. From this day forward, may there not be a day when you do not have work. Every day you work 365 days and you don't have time for a holiday."
