Actor Ayushmann Khurrana seems to be disappointed with the box-office digits of his latest release 'An Action Hero'. He recently talked about his expectations from his films and their box-office performance.
In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, he said, 'I remember when we were shooting for Andhadhun, my expectations were that it will get great critical acclaim, commercial success - no idea. When I was shooting for Vicky Donor, it was the same. I actually thought about 35 Crores for Andhadhun, and it made 300 Crores worldwide. Expectations karna hi nahi chahiye. You have to move on. There has to be a sense of detachment towards it.'
Addressing 'An Action Hero's box-office failure, Ayushmann said, 'Of course, with An Action Hero, I was expecting a lot more. But yeah, it is what it is. It is multi-factorial at the same time - the release date, the buzz, the marketing. - You are not the only one you know. So you can just do your job and move on.'
‘An Action Hero’ director Anirudh Iyer also talked about the low box office collection of the film in an interview with indianexpress.com. He said that he is overwhelmed with the positive reviews, but he is unable to understand why the film performed badly at the ticket counters.
‘An Action Hero’ is Ayushmann’s fourth box office failure in the post-pandemic times after ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’, ‘Anek’, and ‘Doctor G’. The actor now has 'Dream Girl 2', co-starring Ananya Panday, in his kitty.
