Ayushmann Khurrana has just announced his next film, titled ‘Action Hero’. The film is a co-production of Aanand L Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series. Ayushmaan Khurrana has earlier worked with the same two producers in his hit film ‘Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan’, and with the former in ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’ and ‘Nautanki Saala’. He also has the upcoming ‘Anek’ with T-Series.
For the longest time, Ayushmann Khurrana has been featuring in films with strong social messages, breezy romantic comedies and family dramas. So much so that he seemed to have been typecast in the genre. Everyone – critics and audiences – have increasingly been of the view that the actor simply cannot do an action film. With ‘Action Hero’, Ayushmann Khurrana seeks to break those stereotypes and finally appear in an action role, albeit with a twist.
The first teaser and announcement video of ‘Action Hero’ conveys that Ayushmann Khurrana lives a dual life – as an actor and his real life that is far removed from his image as an action hero. The teaser is quirky and funny, going by which ‘Action Hero‘ promises to be a zany film.
‘Action Hero’ will be directed by Anirudh Iyer, who has earlier assisted in the direction of films like ‘Paparazzi’ and ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’. This will be his directorial debut.
