Writer Neeraj Yadav's first film. OST and the first theatrical film of music composer Parag. First theatrical film of cinematographer Kaushal Shah. Background score artist Sunny's first Hindi Film.” #AnActionHero opens to shockingly low numbers on Day 1… Needs to salvage the situation on Day 2 and 3… Fri ₹ 1.31 cr. #India biz. pic.twitter.com/XURuY4WNu9
Speaking about the team's experience of working on the film, Ayushmann Khurrana said: “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. 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.”
Ayushmann Khurrana also added that he hopes the positive reviews translates to better footfalls. “We hope this snowballs into more and more people coming to the theatres. We have always wanted to tell stories differently and back projects that are fresh, that are unique and clutter-breaking. We are grateful for the love that's coming our way for An Action Hero. It validates our stance of walking the road less travelled, to take risks and hopefully contribute to making our industry a more diverse storytelling entity. For us, An Action Hero is a rare script, a film that was meant to push the envelope of creativity and we hope you continue giving it love and appreciation in the days to come. Keep loving and supporting!”
