On Monday, July 19, Ayushmann Khurrana revealed his first glimpse as Doctor G. Ayushmann appears goofy, dressed in a lab coat, black-rimmed glasses, and carrying a medical book and stethoscope in his pocket. Anubhuti Kashyap is directing the film, which stars Rakul Preet Singh.
On July 14, Ayushmann Khurrana and the Doctor G crew began filming in Bhopal. Even though Rakul Preet was yet to join the team, she replied on Ayushmann’s tweet that she can’t wait to hit the sets. Ayushmann has now released the first look from the film.
On Twitter, Ayushmann wrote, “Doctor G taiyyar ho kar nikle hain. Ab hogi shooting! #DoctorGFirstLook.”
Dr. Uday Gupta is the character that Ayushmann is playing as a family entertainer.
Ayushmann had plenty to say about the film: “Doctor G is a subject that I am passionate about. We’ve all been waiting to start shooting the film because of the lockdown constraints, and we’re pleased that the day has finally arrived. It’s an honor to play a doctor for the first time on screen.”
“I’m looking forward to getting started on the project, not only because it will allow me to relive my memories of being a student and living in a hostel, but also because it will allow me to relive my memories of being a student and living in a hostel. Anubhuti, my director, and I are looking forward to working together” added Ayushmann.
While Ayushmann Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh started shooting Doctor G in April 2021, the film did not begin shooting until July in Bhopal.
Doctor G is Ayushmann’s third film set during the coronavirus outbreak.
Sharing a photo, in white T-shirt and black face mask with Doctor G written on it, Ayushmann wrote, “Day 1 #DoctorG This is the third film I’ll be shooting in the pandemic. But summers will be tough. One of the best scripts I’ve ever read. Too excited to collaborate with @anubhuti_k @jungleepictures @rakulpreet @shefalishahofficial @sheeba.chadha @sumit.saxena.35912 @saurabhbharat @vishal.wagh21.”
Co-star Rakul Preet Singh, who hasn’t joined the team yet, took to the comments section and wrote that she can’t wait to join them. She wrote, “Yay yay yay !! It’s my third too. Let’s kill it and can’t wait to join you all (sic).” Interestingly, this is Rakul’s third film shot during the pandemic.
Doctor G is a comedy-drama set on a college campus. Doctor G also stars Shefali Shah and Sheeba Chadha in addition to Ayushmann Khurrana and Rakul Preet Singh in the key roles. In the film, Rakul Preet and Shefali both play doctors.
