'Ruslaan' actor Aayush Sharma reveals being a background dancer in Ranbir Kapoor’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani: 'I wanted to see...'

After Love Yatri and Antim, Aayush Sharma is currently gearing up for the release of Ruslaan, which will hit the screens this Friday. In one of the promotional interviews, the actor made an interesting revelation of being a background dancer in Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

“The first time I came to Mehboob Studios was for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani . Someone told me ‘Why are you working as a background dancer.’ I said that I wanted to see what a film set looks like and to see how the shoots happen. I couldn’t find a job as Assistant Director. At one point, I wanted to become a casting director, thinking that I could get on the set through this. I remember that I had a shoot for YJHD at Mehboob Studios. It was a beautiful moment as there were 300-400 background dancers and I was one of them. Then I saw Manish Malhotra, Deepika Padukone, Kalki Koechlin and then I saw Ranbir Kapoor entering the set for the Dilliwali girlfriend song shoot," the actor recalled while talking to Bollywood Bubble.

The handsome hunk also recalled an audition when a director asked him to ‘get out’. He said, “I hold my memories close to me. It’s funny sometimes to think that some casting directors have rejected me before and now when I meet them, they tell me that I liked your films. They don’t even remember that they rejected me before.” Adding that there was one director who even told him to get out.

Talking about Ruslaan, the film also features Jagapathi Babu, Sushrii Mishraa, and Vidya Malavade in pivotal roles. It is helmed by Karan L Butani.
