The social drama has managed to grab so many awards and accolades, including the Best Actor Award (Critics) for Ayushmann Khurrana, Best Film Award (Critics) and the Best Story Award at the 65th Filmfare Awards.
Ayushmann Khurrana has been considered as the King of Content of Bollywood. The actor is notable for the kind of films that he does as they always have the perfect amalgamation of being connected socially as well as interesting. Ayushmann’s last release Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is a hit and the film speaks about normalizing same-sex relationships. Now Ayushmann has passed on to his next project which is with Thappad director Anubhav Sinha. The director has got Ayushmann on board for his next which is an action thriller.
