Ayushmann says that Sriram held his hand throughout the preparation and filming process, resulting in his giving a great performance that garnered him the Best Actor prize at the prestigious National Film Awards. He couldn’t have had done Andhadhun with sincerity if he hadn’t had a visionary guy like Sriram to hold his hand all through the journey. Pooja Ladha Surti (co-writer and editor) also deserves ample credit for crafting the film in such a beautiful way. Khurrana feels also grateful to his piano teacher, Akshayye Varma. During Andhadhun, Ayushmann felt challenged as an actor, which pushed him to give his all on film.
