Actor Ayushmann Khurrana took to Twitter and replied to a fan who recently hailed his film An Action Hero over Shah Rukh Khan’s hit Pathaan. Ayushmann who calls himself a fan of Shah Rukh, thanked the fan but expressed his displeasure at her words about Pathaan. Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan has become the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2023 at the box office.
Recently, Ayushmann Khurrana’s An Action Hero landed on Netflix, almost two months after its theatrical release last year. Reviewing it, a user tagged the actor and wrote, “Screw Pathan, watch Action Hero on Netflix! Story, dialogues, background music, the subtle middle finger shown to Indian news channels and their crass reporting, @ayushmannk has KILLED it! But my fav was the guy mimicking Arnab.”
Responding to the tweet, Ayushmann Khurrana humbly commented, “Thanks for loving An Action Hero. Could’ve avoided the first line though I’m an SRKian!” Soon after the fan wrote back to him, “Same! I (love) SRK. But sometimes I don’t like the story as much as I love the star.”
Ayushmann on several occasions has spoken about being an avid fan of Shah Rukh. Last year, he posted a picture of himself posing in front of Shah Rukh Khan’s house Mannat in Mumbai ahead of An Action Hero release. In the photo, Ayushmann looked at Mannat from the sunroof of his car, while several onlookers clicked photographs.
