Ayushmann to play action star in ‘Action Hero’

Bollywood star Ayushmann Khurrana announced his upcoming film, ‘Action Hero’, with a teaser on Saturday. The actor revealed that the film will release in 2022, reports Bollywood Hungama.

‘Action Hero’ is billed as a slick actioner with an offbeat satirical sense of humour. This is the first time Ayushmann Khurrana will be seen in an action film.

Ayushmann Khurrana shared an interesting teaser while making the announcement. In the video, he is saying that he can act as if he is fighting but he cannot fight for real.

“Dikkat Bas Ek Hi Hai, Mujhe Ladne Ki Acting Aati Hai, Ladna Nahin… Super excited for a genre-breaking collab once again with Aanand L Rai and Bhushan Kumar! This one’s special! “ he captioned the post. The duo had earlier collaborated for the ‘Shubh Mangal Saavdhan’ franchise.

Commenting on Action Hero, Ayushmann said, “I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Aanand sir for the third time and I hope our track record to entertain audiences worldwide with disruptive scripts continues with Action Hero. I’m also very excited to work with Bhushan ji again. Colour Yellow and T-Series are like a second home to me. I absolutely loved the script of Action Hero instantly. It’s zany, it’s fresh, it’s disruptive and it has all the trappings of cinema that I have come to be known for.”

Helmed by Anirudh Iyer, the slick action entertainer with doses of satirical offbeat humor revolves around an actor’s journey both on and off camera. The film will be shot in India and the UK. The makers have approached a top actress to play the female lead in ‘Action Hero’.
