Actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s last three films—Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Anek, and Doctor G, didn’t do well at the box office. However, Ayushmann Khurrana is unshakable and sa🦩ys that he will keep doing unconventional roles and add🍸ing variety to his filmography.
Talking about his last three films’ debacle especially🎉 ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’ which highlights a social message on the LGBTQ community, Ayushmann Khurrana says India is homophobic.
“I started with movies on taboo subjects. I suppose the type of subjects—it has to be a community viewing, and it has to have a wider film—the kids have also been watching. In fact, my last three films, including an LGBTQ film 🙈(Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui), really don't do well commercially because, unfortunately, our country is homophobic. Then there was Anek, a docudrama that was a very niche in terms of the tone of the film.
“Doctor G was an A-rated film, and given the kind of certification it got, the film did decently well in theatres. For a while, that was my learning for making a film,” Ayushmann Khurrana tells OTT Play.
Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui starred V𒅌aani Kapoor as a trans woman. Ayushmann Khurrana’s other films including A꧑nek and Doctor G earned as low as Rs. 9.7 crore and Rs. 31.49 crore gross at the domestic ticket window.
However, Ayushmann will continue taking risk.
“If I stop taking risks, I will be conventional. I have always been unconventional, and I make those choices. I will be taking them in the future as well, regardless of success or failure. I just keep pushing the boundaries, and that's the beauty of the budgeting of the🌟 film🦩s, too. My films are mostly low- to mid-budget, so no one loses money and I can afford to take risks,” says Ayushmann Khurrana.
He will be next seen 💃in Anirudh Iyer‘s film ‘An Action Hero’. The film is slated to release on December 2, 2022.
