Ayushmann
Khurrana
made
his
Bollywood
debut
in
2012
with
Shoojit
Sircar's
Vicky
Donor
alongside
Yami
Gautam
and
is
counted
among
the
most
talented
stars
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
In
a
career
spanning
over
a
decade
in
films,
the
actor
has
delivered
many
hits
including
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha,
Shubh
Mangal
Saavdhan,
Andhadhun,
Badhaai
Ho,
Bala,
and
Dream
Girl
among
others.
Besides
his
strong
performances,
Ayushmann's
movies
have
always
entertained
moviegoers.
However,
the
talented
star
is
currently
going
through
a
rough
phase
as
sadly
all
of
his
films
released
after
the
coronavirus
pandemic
have
failed
to
set
the
cash
registers
ringing.
Last
week,
Ayushmann's
An
Action
Hero
got
released
amid
a
decent
buzz
and
huge
expectations.
As
expected,
the
thriller
received
rave
reviews
from
critics
and
they
also
praised
the
actor.
However,
the
film
was
a
non-starter
and
failed
to
witness
the
expected
jumps
over
the
first
weekend.
Even
during
the
weekdays,
it
stayed
on
the
lower
levels
and
has
turned
out
to
be
a
huge
commercial
disappointment.
First
Week
Collection
Of
An
Action
Hero
In
the
first
week
of
its
release,
An
Action
Hero
did
a
business
of
Rs
8.75-9
crore
(estimated)
and
is
a
total
washout.
The
film's
lifetime
collection
is
now
expected
to
wrap
up
at
around
Rs
12
crore.
However,
the
final
numbers
are
still
awaited.
Ayushmann’s
Fourth
Consecutive
Failure
Also
featuring
Jaideep
Ahlawat
in
a
pivotal
role,
An
Action
Hero
has
turned
out
to
be
Ayushmann's
fourth
consecutive
box
office
failure
after
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui,
Anek,
and
Doctor
G.
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui
Directed
by
Abhishek
Kapoor,
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui
marked
Ayushmann's
comeback
to
the
big
screen
after
the
pandemic.
Co-starring
Vaani
Kapoor
as
a
trans
woman,
the
film
got
huge
appreciation.
However,
it
was
a
box
office
underperformer
with
a
lifetime
collection
of
Rs
28.26
crore
(nett)
in
India.
Anek
and
Doctor
G
Were
Disasters
Too
Anek
was
Ayushmann's
first
release
of
2021,
however,
it
turned
out
to
be
a
box
office
disaster
despite
rave
reviews
and
couldn't
even
cross
the
Rs
10
crore
mark.
Doctor
G,
also
starring
Rakul
Preet
Singh
and
Shefali
Shah,
too
failed
commercially
even
after
a
decent
first
weekend.
Ayushmann’s
Upcoming
Projects
Ayushmann
will
next
be
seen
in
the
sequel
to
his
2019
hit
film
Dream
Girl.
Titled
Dream
Girl
2,
the
much-awaited
comedy
features
Ananya
Panday
as
the
female
lead.
It
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
next
year.
