Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat take the lead in the action-packed trailer for AnActionHero.
In a career pivot, Indian star Ayushmann Khurrana will next be seen in the satirical thriller An Action Hero, where he plays a self-involved movie star who gets embroiled in a high-stakes chase plot right out of one of his films.
In An Action Hero, Khurrana plays the Bollywood star Maanav, who might have been involved in a hit-and-run incident, while Jaideep Ahlawat plays Bhoora, the brother of the man who died in the accident. Bhoora swears vengeance, and engages Maanav in a chase that takes them from Mumbai to London. The deluded Maanav can’t believe his bad luck as he goes on the run, with the same fans who were tripping over themselves to get selfies with him now calling for his blood.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The trailer points out just how clueless some people in the movie business can be, completely unaware that they’re successful only because audiences have paid to watch their work. Bhoora represents the common man, and he points out Maanav’s privilege on more than one occasion.
Khurrana, on the other hand, quickly became one of the most bankable young stars in Bollywood after a series of massively successful films centered around taboo topics — in his hit comedy dramas, he has played characters afflicted with everything from premature ejaculation to premature balding.
Directed by Anirudh Iyer and co-produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Aanand L. Rai, An Action Hero will be released in theaters on December 2. You can watch the trailer and check out the poster below, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
