Yes you heard it right, Ayushmann Khurrana learnt everything about printing press for his role as printing press owner in his upcoming next Bareilly Ki Barfi.

His character in the film is named as 'Chirag Dubey' who owns a printing press in Lucknow.

To get into the skin of the character, the talented actor learned several aspects of Printing from the real owner of a press named Mr. Jaggi who has been living in Lucknow from the last 40 years.


Ayushmann Khurrana shared,`I used to observe him to understand his body language and how he managed the 10-12 people working with him. I didn't get into the technicalities and only know how to switch the machines on and off"

Ayushmann further said that Mrs Jaggi cooked for him every alternate day, he added in exultation,"She would send Sarson Ka Saag and Rajma Chawal which I loved. Since we were shooting in Lucknow I also binged on Tunday Kebab".

To learn about printing press he had also visited a printing press owned by his fathers friend.

While he was in Lucknow Ayushmann got a visit from Mr Jaggi's son too at the press. Ayushmann said `He knows I am active on social media and introduced me to an app which people in the West use for blogging".
