Ayushmann Khurrana is set to portray a historical character in a period film, but refuses to divulge any details.

"I am soon going to play a historical character. I am going to do a period film and you will get to know about it soon," the 28-year-old told reporters Thursday at the 'Saath Hain Hum Uttarakhand' show, organised on the occasion of Independence Day.

"I am not allowed to speak about it right now, but yes, I am going to do a biopic," he added.

Ayushmann is currently shooting for Yash Raj Films' untitled project with Sonam Kapoor.
