Read this on Quora:
"Ayushmann Khurrana is at the top of his game right now. And when I say top, I don’t mean an actor with a few hits alone in his arsenal. He’s one of the ‘consistent’ few, who’s wisely worked his way up prioritizing scripts — meaningful, clutter-breaking and his love for celluloid over everything else. The actor has smartly chosen middle-of-the-road films that blend mainstream and indie sensibilities, luring both masala and non-traditional audiences. From Vicky Donor to Dum Laga Ke Haisha, Badhaai Ho to Andhadhun, the actor is thwarting stereotypes — undoing the definition of a Hindi film ‘hero’ one movie at a time.
Having proved his mettle time and again juggling and acing different genres, his work is proof Khurana is already a ‘big thing’ in Bollywood."
Do you agree with this? Is he already a superstar?
Let's face it, he was the sole reason Bala garnered over 100 crores and Shubh Mangal Zyaada Saavdhan, a film on homosexuality, grossed over 60 crores. I can't help feeling that if experimental films are doing well, then consider how well his movies would do if he did run-of-the-mill stuff.
As opposed to a cynic sating he makes his niche doing a certain kind of film, I would like to say that niche in doing taboo stuff is not a bad niche at all! How many other actors have managed that?
Discuss.
