<p class="title">Ayushmann Khurrana says for him more than his character, the story of a film and the message it leaves behind is a bigger priority.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The 34-year-old actor said he does not mind playing an immoral character if the plot does justice with the fate of the part.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"I would love to do a variety of scripts and characters. If the story resonates with me, I would definitely do a character which is not moral.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"But at the same time, it has to be a message in the end, against a character or maybe whatever that character needs to learn eventually. For me the story matters above my character. I am obsessed with good stories," Ayushmann told PTI.</p>.<p class="bodytext">The actor, who has made a mark for himself courtesy his unique choice of films, believes every performer has "different aspirations".</p>.<p class="bodytext">"It also really depends on what your priorities are. Some scripts are to prove your acting abilities, some scripts are there to have a certain social responsibility and as I said everyone has different aspirations in life, so, being progressive and regressive is a very subjective thing," he added.</p>.<p class="bodytext">Ayushmann has struck a chord with the audience, but the actor said there is no formula to maintain the connection.</p>.<p class="bodytext">"Anybody can go wrong. Whatever is relevant right now may be irrelevant five years from now. Our industry is ever-changing and our society is ever-evolving so I cannot be cocky and pompous enough to say that I have a great script sense.
