After
making
a
mark
on
TV,
Ayushmann
Khurrana
entered
Bollywood
with
John
Abraham's
maiden
production
venture
Vicky
Donor
in
2012
and
never
looked
back.
Directed
by
Shoojit
Sircar,
the
film
was
based
on
sperm
donation
and
won
huge
acclaim
after
hitting
the
theatres.
Featuring
Yami
Gautam
as
the
female
lead,
it
was
among
the
biggest
hits
of
the
year.
Over
the
years,
the
actor
went
on
to
deliver
various
box-office
hits
including
Dum
Laga
Ke
Haisha,
Shubh
Mangal
Saavdhan,
Andhadhun,
Badhaai
Ho,
Dream
Girl,
and
Bala
among
others.
He
established
himself
among
the
most
bankable
stars
of
his
generation.
However,
after
the
COVID-19
pandemic,
things
have
changed
for
most
Bollywood
stars
including
Ayushmann.
Despite
featuring
in
several
interesting
projects,
the
talented
actor
is
yet
to
deliver
a
clean
hit
ever
since
the
theatres
re-opened
after
the
coronavirus
wave
faded
last
year.
In
2021,
Ayushmann
made
a
comeback
to
the
silver
screens
with
Abhishek
Kapoor's
Chandigarh
Kare
Aashiqui
alongside
Vaani
Kapoor.
Despite
an
interesting
plot
and
favourable
reviews,
the
film
underperformed
at
the
ticket
window
and
collected
Rs
28.26
crore
(nett)
in
India.
His
first
release
of
2022
was
Anubhav
Sinha's
directorial
Anek.
Based
on
the
political
conflicts
of
Northeast
India,
the
hard-hitting
drama
also
marked
the
Bollywood
debut
of
Andrea
Kevichüsa.
Upon
its
release,
the
film
received
rave
reviews
for
its
storyline
and
performances.
However,
it
failed
to
even
cross
the
Rs
10
crore
mark
in
its
theatrical
run
and
was
a
box
office
disaster.
Later,
in
October,
he
played
the
lead
role
in
Anubhuti
Kashyap's
quirky
comedy
Doctor
G
co-starring
Rakul
Preet
Singh
and
Shefali
Shah.
Just
like
his
previous
releases,
even
this
medical
campus
drama
got
decent
reviews
but
failed
to
meet
expectations
at
the
ticket
window.
Today
(December
2),
Ayushmann
returned
to
theatres
with
his
latest
release
An
Action
Hero.
Directed
by
Anirudh
Iyer,
the
film
features
Ayushmann
as
an
actor
named
Manav
Khurana
who
gets
caught
in
the
plot
of
an
action
film
in
real
life.
Produced
by
T-Series
and
Colour
Yellow
Productions,
it
also
features
Jaideep
Ahlawat
as
the
main
antagonist
named
Bhoore
who
wants
to
take
revenge
on
Manav.
The
film
has
been
receiving
a
majorly
positive
critical
response
so
far.
Also,
both
Ayushmann
and
Jaideep
are
getting
amazing
feedback
for
their
performances.
Now,
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
if
Ayushmann
will
finally
deliver
box
office
success
with
An
Action
Hero
after
the
back-to-back
failure
of
his
last
three
releases
or
not.
Well,
he
has
always
proved
his
mettle
as
an
actor
and
totally
deserves
all
the
appreciation
and
success.
We
just
hope
that
the
film
breaks
all
possible
records
commercially
and
will
become
a
huge
hit.
