Ayushmann Khurrana kicks off Sriram Raghavan's Shoot the Piano Player

Mumbai: Viewers have been waiting for the Sriram Raghavan’s next film, after his intense action drama ‘Badlapur’ starring Varun Dhawan earned applause from the critics and also turned out to be a hit at the box office.

It was announced few months ago that his next film will be with Ayushmann Khurrana and the project, titled ‘Shoot the Piano Player’, has finally gone on floors.

Keeping with the title of the film, Ayushmann shared a picture of him playing the piano with the clapboard being snapped to launch the shot.

Ayushmann could perhaps be the most apt to play the role, as he is also a singer and music composer.

According to reports, the film was earlier going to star Harshvardhan Kapoor, but now Ayushmann will reportedly share screen space with Tabu in the film.

Raghavan’s films right from ‘Ek Hasina Thi’ to 'Johnny Gaddaar', 'Agent Vinod'  and 'Badlapur' have all have been action thrillers and the title ‘ Shoot the Piano Player’ makes it obvious that this film is also one.

It would also be first such role for Ayushmann who has primarily done romantic roles till now.

The film would also offer the actor the opportunity to bounce back from the failure of his recent film ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu.’
