After
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui,
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
much
anticipated
film
Anek
is
all
set
to
arrive
in
theatres
tomorrow
(May
27).
The
political
thriller
marks
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
second
collaboration
with
director
Anubhav
Sinha
after
their
2015
hit
Article
15.
Anek
revolves
around
an
undercover
agent
who
is
on
a
mission
to
restore
peace
in
the
North-eastern
region
of
India.
Going
by
the
trailer,
the
film
deals
with
the
theme
of
identity
politics
and
unrest
in
the
North
East.
While
the
trailer
of
the
film
upon
its
release
had
grabbed
attention
with
one
of
Ayushmann's
scene
where
he
is
talking
about
linguistic
demarcations
going
viral
on
social
media,
the
buzz
around
the
film
is
quite
low.
With
the
makers
keeping
their
promotions
low-key,
it
looks
like
they
are
solely
relying
on
their
content
to
attract
the
audience
to
the
theatres.
As
per
the
report
in
Sacnilk.com,
Anek
earned
merely
Rs
47
lakhs
(gross)
through
advance
booking
for
day
1.
According
to
early
trends,
the
Ayushmann
Khurrana-starrer
is
likely
to
mint
an
opening
collection
in
the
range
of
Rs
1-3
Crore.
If
the
film
turns
out
to
be
good
then
with
glowing
reviews
and
positive
word
of
mouth,
the
Ayushmann
Khurrana-starrer
might
see
an
upward
trend
in
its
business.
Also,
Anek
will
face
some
tough
competition
from
Kartik
Aaryan-Kiara
Advani's
horror
comedy
Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
2
which
is
having
a
successful
run
at
the
box
office
and
is
slowly
heading
towards
the
100-Crore
mark.
Speaking
about
how
much
box
office
successes
matter
to
him,
Ayushmann
told
DNA
in
an
interview,
"It
really
matters
to
me
a
lot,
but
this
film
shouldn't
be
seen
from
a
commercial
point
of
view.
It
is
a
film
similar
to
Article
15
that
nearly
collected
revenue
of
60+
crores.
Anek
is
not
a
100
crore
film,
but
a
very
significant
film
to
watch."
He
further
added,
"I
have
done
commercial
films
like
Dream
Girl,
Bala
and
a
lot
more,
and
they
were
even
successful
too
so
I
think
I
get
my
courage
from
here
to
do
such
bold,
significant
films
like
Anek.
Of
course,
my
upcoming
films
like
Doctor
G
and
Action
Hero
belong
to
the
commercial
genre
but
this
film
is
important
for
the
audience."
