Hema Malini was known as the Dream Girl in the '70s. She still is. But seems like there is a new name in the industry eyering to claim her throne. You'd think the person who'd even dare to take this impossible challenge would be Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, or Alia Bhatt, but the reality is stranger than fiction. Ayushmann Khurrana is all set to star in a movie titled Dream Girl, which is being bankrolled by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures. Oh my! Are we ready for this?

We have faith in Ayushmann Khurrana. Since the very first film of his career, the actor has taken up pathbreaking roles. He has played a sperm donor, a man with erectile dysfunction, a 10th fail man with a heavyweight champion of a wife, a man whose aged parents are expecting a baby, a piano player who is pretending to be blind - all of his characters have kept us entertained. The scheme is reminded to us in the funny movie announcement video of Dream Girl. So, owing to our faith in the actor, we are eagerly looking forward to the movie.

The movie stars Nushrat Bharucha as the female lead. But don't think that we have made a mistake and its the actress playing titular Dream Girl. The announcement video makes it loud and clear that Ayushmann will star in the movie as Dream Girl.

Will Hema Malini be able to sleep properly tonight is the question we all should be asking. Jokes aside, Ayushmann Khurrana we are counting on you. Dream Girl, for the win!
