He said he was of the opinion that the film industry would take a hard hit (as all productions are at a complete standstill). He reasoned audiences would now think twice before booking tickets for films in theatres. He added daily functions should not revert to ’normal’ until the nation is completely free of the virus. On being asked whether he thought there would be fresh, wacky scripts coming his way post this crisis, the actor agreed he felt the entire narrative process would undergo a shift.  “I am sure the kind of films we will make will be different from the kind of films we have seen earlier. How to make it topical is the real challenge. I want to go back to sets, have some reading sessions, jam with directors, go out on locations. I am missing that madness.” Ayushmann even shared with audiences his current list of shows and series on digital platforms, and said the family is currently watching  Money Heist . The actor also mentioned watching  The Morning Show  on Apple TV+ and Bombshell . Speaking about his family, Ayushmann said he and Tahira were initially taken aback by their children’s ‘online classes’ but soon caught up with the norm. Lastly, he ended the interview by saying at times, it would become difficult for him to maintain his sanity, and as a result, he indulged in his family’s habit of Buddhist chanting.
