"We have always wanted to tell stories differently and back projects that are fresh, that are unique & clutter-breaking", wrote Ayushmann Khurrana.
Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat starrer action-packed entertainer An Action Hero was released in the theatres on Friday, December 2.

Ayushmann and the film's producer Aanand L. Rai shared a note of gratitude on their social media accounts on Monday, December 5, thanking the audience for supporting their film and added that they hope that the strong word of mouth will lead to more people coming to the theatres to watch An Action Hero on the big screen.
Their note read, "Our first action film. Director Anirudh's first film. Writer Neeraj Yadav's first film. Music director Parag's first theatrical film. Cinematographer Kaushal Shah's first theatrical film. Background score artist Sunny's first Hindi film. During the entire journey of An Action Hero, it really felt like we were the newest students of cinema and were all set to make something really exciting and new age."
"As a team, we are always aligned and inclined to try and cause creative disruption. From Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan and now An Action Hero, we have tried to give audiences something new to savour and discuss through our brand of cinema. So, we are humbled with all the positivity and the strong word of mouth surrounding An Action Hero. We hope this snowballs into more and more people coming to the theatres", the note concluded.
