Ayushmann, who had contested on popular reality show &#39;Roadies&#39; and emerged as winner, took up a job as a Radio Jockey and hosted shows for MTV. He also started anchoring for other reality shows like &#39;India&#39;s Got Talent&#39;, &#39;Just Dance&#39; and some award functions.u00a0 <img alt="Ayushmann Khurrana" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/jul/Ayushmann-Khurrana.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 503px;" /> With &#39;Vicky Donor&#39;, Ayushmann made his acting debut in Bollywood opposite TV actress Yami Gautam. His second release was &#39;Nautanki Saala&#39;. &quot;Earlier, it was not easy but today it is all about talent. Indian cinema has grown over a period of time today. Everything is transparent, filmmakers do auditions and the selection is based on who fits the bill. I think I have carved a niche as an actor-singer,&quot; Ayushmann told PTI in an interview here. Considering that every year a bunch of new actors enter industry, Ayushmann is not bogged down with the competitiveness that the profession brings in. &quot;I am not competitive at all. Every year there are at least three debutants, so always there is new lot of actors coming in industry. There is space for everyone,&quot; he said. Ayushmann aspires to work with filmmakers like Rajkumar Hirani and Aditya Chopra. Ayushmann, who is elated with the response to his latest film &#39;Nautanki Saala&#39; says, he does not feel the pressure anymore and is glad that everyone is accepting him. &quot;I don&#39;t feel the pressure... I believe in performance. I am new here and I am glad people are liking and accepting me. It feels great when people shower praises on you, credit you. I am happy to reach where I am today. It&#39;s all surreal,&quot; he said. The film &#39;Vicky Donor&#39; directed by Shoojit Sircar was based on the concept of sperm donation and infertility. The film produced by John Abraham was a huge hit and bagged several awards including the prestigious National awards. &#39;Nautanki Saala&#39; a comedy film starring Ayushmann and Kunaal Roy Kapur, released last Friday to a good response. &quot;Last year I felt like I was giving an exam, I was nervous. But this year, I was kind of chilled out. I was confident about the film (&#39;Nautanki Saala&#39;). It was a different film and we were hopeful audience will like it. We all had worked hard for it and it feels good that people have liked it,&quot; Ayushmann said. Rohan Sippy directed film has reportedly earned over Rs 14 crore. &quot;I was not bothered about it (box office). I don&#39;t understand numbers. I think that department is of producer and financiers,&quot; Ayushmann said. &quot;For me success of a film is not about Rs 100 crore. It does not mean that if the film earns that much amount then only it is a successful. Like &#39;Vicky Donor&#39; was made at a budget of four crore and earned over Rs 40 crore, &#39;Nautanki Saala&#39; was made for Rs 10 crore and till now has made business of Rs 13 crore or so,&quot; he said. Ayushmann will now be seen in John Abraham&#39;s next home production &#39;Hamara Bajaj&#39; and YRF&#39;s untitled film with Sonam Kapoor.u00a0
