Ayushmann
Khurrana
is
the
torch-bearer
of
meaningful
cinema
in
Bollywood,
is
known
to
all.
In
the
past
few
years,
the
actor-singer
has
established
himself
as
a
bankable
star
and
has
rightly
earned
his
place
in
the
big
league.
His
much-awaited
movie
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan
has
finally
arrived
in
the
theatres
today
and
we
are
pretty
sure
it’s
going
to
be
another
successful
film
to
his
credit.
While
Ayushmann
has
mostly
done
light-hearted
movies
with
social
messages,
he
recently
proved
his
mettle
as
a
serious
actor
with
Anubhav
Sinha’s
crime-drama
Article
15.
The
movie
came
out
in
June
last
year
and
Ayushmann
took
everyone
by
surprise
with
his
nuanced
performance
as
a
diligent
police
officer.
Now,
after
the
success
of
their
first
collaboration,
Sinha
and
Ayushmann
are
teaming
up
once
again
for
a
film.
And
we
have
got
exclusive
details
about
the
same.
The
movie
in
question
is
a
political
drama
and
has
been
tentatively
titled
Anek.
Anubhav
Sinha
will
helm
the
project
whereas
Ayushmann
will
play
the
lead.
The
film
is
likely
to
go
on
floors
in
April
this
year.
Considering
how
good
Ayushmann
was
in
Article
15,
we
are
definitely
excited
that
the
35-year-old
is
now
experimenting
with
the
political
genre.
He
is
indeed
trying
to
strike
a
balance
withholding
the
title
of
taboo
king
and
doing
content
that
mirrors
our
society.
But
before
Ayushmann
starts
working
on
the
political
drama,
he
has
one
more
film
lined-up
and
that’s
Shoojit
Sircar’s
Gulabo
Sitabo.
Co-starring
Amitabh
Bachchan,
the
comedy-drama
is
written
by
Juhi
Chaturvedi
and
is
releasing
on
April
17,
2020.
Anubhav
Sinha
also
has
a
film
coming
out
this
month.
His
much-talked-about
film
Thappad
is
hitting
the
screens
next
Friday,
on
February
28.
Featuring
Taapsee
Pannu
in
the
lead,
the
movie
has
garnered
immense
pre-release
buzz
and
is
expected
to
do
well
at
the
box
office.
