After impressing the audience with a brave, thought-provoking and entertaining film like Badhaai Do earlier this year, Junglee Pictures, known for backing high-concept films, brings to you another unique and engaging story, Doctor G, that unfolds at a medical college campus. For the first time in his decade-long career, Ayushmann will be seen portraying a doctor in the stree-rog vibhaag (gynaecology department) in a medical college in Bhopal.
The story revolves around Ayushmann’s character, Uday Gupta, who finds himself as the lone male student in the gynaecology department. His reluctance to be there leads to chaos, confusion, a lot of comic situations and eventually, great camaraderie with his fellow classmates. The vibrant posters that will be unveiled today gives us a quick look at the madness and mayhem that surround Uday’s life as a medical student. Ayushmann has constantly surprised the audience with an interesting variety of roles over the years, and with this film, he is all set to wow the audience once again.
Adding more power to the cast are Shefali Shah as Dr Nandini Srivastava, Rakul Preet Singh as Dr
Fatima Siddiqui and Sheeba Chadha who plays Ayushmann’s mother, in prominent roles. This medical campus comedy, with a set of lively, spirited and dramatic characters, tells a refreshing story with a good dose of humour, light-hearted moments, and some shots of drama, too.
Talking about exploring this unique subject, director and co-writer Anubhuti Kashyap says, “I was in talks with Junglee Pictures for a different set of projects when they offered Doctor G to me. I read the story and the screenplay that they had at that time. I strongly felt that the world the writers had created had something unique and powerful to offer to the audience, something that they hadn’t seen in cinema before. It had a compelling story and it took me into a zone that I had never been in before. It was reason enough to jump right in. And it didn’t stop at me. When we met Ayushmann for the first time, he not only stretched the narration from an hour to a few hours, but was also instantly attracted to the story. He was intrigued, curious and extremely interested in bringing this story to life. I saw similar interest in Shefali, Rakul and Sheeba. They were equally forthcoming and invested in the parts they were cast for. Each one of their willingness to go the whole hog and give their best has brought us this far.”
Since the time the film was announced, there has been a lot of curiosity around it, and now the excitement is mounting further. The trailer of the film drops tomorrow, so get set to book your appointment with Doctor G! The film releases in the theatres on October 14.
