Ayushmann Khurrana is one of the most acclaimed Bollywood actors. He is renowned for his exceptional film choices, which continue to captivate audiences. Recently, Ayushmann broke his silence regarding the underwhelming box office performance of his film 'An Action Hero'. Following a theatrical release, the film premiered on an OTT platform in January 2023. In a recent interview, Ayushmann shared insights into the movie's release and reflected on what may have contributed to its shortcomings. 

In a recent interview with news agency PTI, Ayushmann opened up about the box office performance of the film and said, "It really depends on timing. This is the best time, the theatricals are also back and I am glad mid-budget films are working. It is a great silver lining. I think it was a bad time then. An Action Hero got a lot of love later. I will keep on making these choices. I am sure theatricals will happen and we will do well."

 
Earlier, director Anirudh Iyer talked about the poor box office performance. "It is very special, overwhelming. I didn’t expect so much but on the other side, I didn’t expect such bad box office numbers also. It is a bit difficult to process this. I don’t know what to take from it. You have an experience, you make a film, then people point out to you certain things which didn’t work, and you see why that happened. You learn from that and go to the next one, that these are the things that I will or won’t do," he told Indian Express. 

Helmed by debutant Anirudh Iyer and also starring Jaideep Ahlawat, the movie is an action-packed satire delving into the journey of an artist, both in front of and behind the camera. The film was produced by T-Series Films and Colour Yellow Productions. It marked Ayushmann's first venture into action films. While the audience appreciated the film, it couldn't achieve its potential at the ticket window.
