Shoojit Sircar is a director who weaves magic with his every film. Now, as the director has just released his next film, Gulabo Sitabo, a web offering, he spilled the beans on how Ayushmann Khurrana was considered as the perfect fit for the character of Baankey. In an interview, Shoojit shared how Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh played an important part for the actor to grab this film. Confused? Here-s what the director said.

"Yes, he Ayushmann was the first choice but before that, we debated a lot. His casting was done later. First was Mr Bachchan-s casting and then I remember I think I broke the news to him, I remember it was... Deepika Padukone-s reception laughs. So at that reception, I gave him the basic narration, I remember. And you know that-s when we agreed to do the film. He was excited, he was jumping since then. So, I think we first bounced the idea to him at their reception. Suddenly mere ko yaad aa raha hai. I think you are the first one I am telling this. So, that-s when I told him the idea."
