"Earlier, it was not easy but today it is all about talent. Indian cinema has grown over a periodof time today.

Everything is transparent, filmmakers do auditions and the selection is based on who fits thebill. I think I have carved a niche as an actor-singer," Ayushmann told PTI in an interview here.

Considering that every year a bunch of new actors enter industry, Ayushmann is not boggeddown with the competitiveness that the profession brings in.

"I am not competitive at all. Every year there are at least three debutants, so always there isnew lot of actors coming in industry. There is space for everyone," he said.

Ayushmann aspires to work with filmmakers like Rajkumar Hirani and Aditya Chopra.

Ayushmann, who is elated with the response to his latest film 'Nautanki Saala' says, he doesnot feel the pressure anymore and is glad that everyone is accepting him.

"I don't feel the pressure... I believe in performance. I am new here and I am glad people areliking and accepting me. It feels great when people shower praises on you, credit you. I amhappy to reach where I am today. It's all surreal," he said.

The film 'Vicky Donor' directed by Shoojit Sircar was based on the concept of sperm donationand infertility. The film produced by John Abraham was a huge hit and bagged several awardsincluding the prestigious National awards.

'Nautanki Saala' a comedy film starring Ayushmann and Kunaal Roy Kapur, released lastFriday to a good response.

"Last year I felt like I was giving an exam, I was nervous. But this year, I was kind of chilledout. I was confident about the film ('Nautanki Saala'). It was a different film and we werehopeful audience will like it. We all had worked hard for it and it feels good that people haveliked it," Ayushmann said.

Rohan Sippy directed film has reportedly earned over Rs 14 crore.

"I was not bothered about it (box office). I don't understand numbers. I think that department isof producer and financiers," Ayushmann said. "For me success of a film is not about Rs 100crore. It does not mean that if the film earns that much amount then only it is a successful.Like 'Vicky Donor' was made at a budget of four crore and earned over Rs 40 crore, 'NautankiSaala' was made for Rs 10 crore and till now has made business of Rs 13 crore or so," hesaid.

Ayushmann will now be seen in John Abraham's next home production 'Hamara Bajaj' andYRF's untitled film with Sonam Kapoor.
