Well, here comes the news that we bet you weren't aware of. Ayushmann Khurrana, known for his roles as a sperm donor and someone who's struggling with erectile dysfunction, was offered Vicky Kaushal's role in Lust Stories but he willingly rejected it. Guess, the actor was wary of being typecast as an actor with 'issues' and hence he decided to let go of this big opportunity. In his recent interaction with Karan Johar and Vicky Kaushal on the 'Koffee' couch, the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil director revealed Khurrana was his first choice for the role and it was only after he rejected that Vicky Kaushal was asked to come on board. Ayushmann Khurrana Stopped Watching 'Koffee With Karan' After Becoming an Actor - Here's why! 

Of course, Lust Stories would have been Ayushmann's first movie with K Jo but he was willing to skip it. The role was more or less on the lines of something that he has attempted in the past and his name is now synonymous with it. After Vicky Donor and Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Ayushmann was sceptical to sign another movie on 'performance issues' and decided to let it go. Yes, while these are our assumptions and the actor never clarified his reasons for not signing it, we're eager to hear his side of the story. Was the film's date clashing with any of his previous commitments or the subject didn't impress the actor in him? In the end, his loss was Vicky's gain and in a big way. Koffee With Karan 6: Vicky Kaushal CONFIRMS Being in a Serious Relationship and We Can Hear Many Hearts Getting Shattered!

Vicky was aware of Ayushmann's rejection and he had no qualms about it. And why should he? Remember even Aamir Khan rejected Darr and Salman Khan was earlier offered Baazigar? The movies then eventually went to Shah Rukh Khan and rest, as they say, is history. However, we certainly hope he collaborates with Karan Johar for his next production and even the filmmaker is keen on pushing him away from YRF.
