Ayushmann Khurrana says his next Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is an homage to the LGBTQ community and it is an important film for India. A follow-up to the actor’s 2017 hit Shubh Mangal Savdhaan, the film stars Ayushmann and Jitendra

Kumar as a homosexual couple trying to win over each other’s family.

Ayushmann said the movie, directed by Hitesh Kewalya, is an effort to bring the LGBTQ community into the mainstream. “The love of the people of India for the trailer of ‘Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan’ is immensely overwhelmi­ng. It is a very important film for India and all Indians. The film is about celebratin­g inclusivit­y, uniqueness, and individual­ity among the people of our country, embracing the LGBTQ community and celebratin­g them. I’m deeply grateful that people have appreciate­d our intention with this important social subject and have enjoyed our trailer thoroughly,” the actor said.

Ayushmann said besides providing entertainm­ent to the masses, the film will also deliver a “positive social message”. “The film is a total family entertaine­r and we wanted people to laugh and enjoy and ponder at the same time and the reactions to the trailer suggest that we have managed to do just that. The film is hilarious and delivers a positive social message in the most entertaini­ng manner and I definitely think the youth, parents and the entire family will enjoy quality content cinema,” he added. Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan reunites Ayushmann with his Badhaai Ho! co-stars Gajraj Rao and Neena Gupta.
