"We again have an intelligent actor called Ayushmann Khuranna (on board) who chooses his subjects and scripts brilliantly. His association with us has been a fantastic one. We did Shubh Mangal Savdhan, and the way he chooses his characters is commendable. We (Himanshu Sharma) had decided together that this is a story that will give another dimension to his acting. Wait for another magical and gutsy story from Ayushmann and us," Rai was quoted as saying by the news portal.

Besides An Action Hero, Ayushmann Khurrana will also be seen in Anubhav Sinha's Anek and Anubhuti Kashyap's Doctor G.
