The trailer for Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat’s An Action Hero was released on Friday by the film’s producers. The nearly two-minute trailer shows Ayushmann Khurrana as the film’s action hero. When he is caught in an action scene in his real life and is pursued by Jaideep Ahlawat throughout, his life is turned upside down. While some fans are still in awe of him, Khurrana has called it a “genre-breaker film for him.”
Ayushmann Khurrana says his upcoming film An Action Hero is different from his staple genre of social-comedy and he hopes audiences will accept him in this new role. The film follows an artist’s journey both in front and behind the lens, and is billed as a slick actioner with an offbeat satirical sense of humour. Khurrana plays Manav, an action hero who flees for his life as Bhura Solanki (Jaideep Ahlawat) seeks to avenge his brother’s mysterious death.
Ayushmann Khurrana stated in an interview that he waited for this movie for ten years. Getting a good script is also critical. Toh yeh jo film ki script hai woh alag hai aur woh kuch alag dikha raha hai toh why not?”.
“This film is about an extraordinary man who finds himself in an ordinary situation. The emotion of vengeance is an ordinary thing, but how a superstar deals with it in that ordinary situation is what the story is about,” Khurrana added.
An Action Hero, produced by Colour Yellow Production and Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar’s T-Series, will be released in theatres on December 2.
