Ayushmann Khurrana says with his films he wants to focus on a flawed common man and make him shine like a hero. Ayushmann said initially in his career people advised him to not pick films like "Vicky Donor" and "Shubh Mangal Saavdhan" as the subjects were not suitable for a mainstream actor.

"A lot of people were apprehensive about choosing a role of a sperm donor, that's why I state 'Vicky Donor' is kind of a case study. With 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan', a lot of people said how can you do a role of a guy suffering from erectile dysfunction, being a mainstream hero, and I was like we need to normalise that.
