"I think it's usually good to sign a movie that is unconventional. That is the time and age once we speak about unconventional films and do out-of-the-box stuff. So it's safe to make a choice one of these project," the 27-year-old said here on the Couture for Cause event.
When asked him to give an explanation for the film's story, Ayushmann described it in his VJ-like interesting manner and said: "Every sperm is special. For example, M.S. Dhoni is a Bihari sperm, Dhanush is a 'Kolaveri' sperm, Suresh Kalmadi is a corrupt sperm, and Vijay Mallya at the moment is a bankrupt sperm. It goes like that.
"Apart from that there's a similarity between Rahul Dravid and Rahul Gandhi's sperms - both take time to attain. Right now, Sachin Tendulkar is a tired sperm but Dravid is a retired sperm. So every sperm is special and 'Vicky Donor' is set this."
"Vicky Donor" is John's first film as a producer and it also stars veteran actor Annu Kapoor and television actress Yami Gautam, known for shows like "Chaand Ke Paar Chalo" and "Ye Pyaar Na Hoga Kam".
Ayushmann is confident that the film's promotional video, to be shot soon with John, might help the movie.
"Of course, we're gonna join it. We can be shooting it pretty soon. The producer is a known figure within the industry, so it's going to really help," said Ayushmann who began his showbiz career as a contestant on MTV's reality show "Roadies" season 2.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the film is releasing April 20.
