On the so-called boycott culture, which has taken a toll on some big-budget releases, including Aamir Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshaye Kumar’s Samrat Prithviraj, Iyer told ANI, "What]s happening is very evident but I would like to give an elaborate answer to this question. There are always two ways of looking at this -- repercussion and punishment. I feel that nobody deserves to be punished this way. It is wrong. There is a slight difference between these two viewpoints and I strongly believe that one should understand this difrerence."
Recently, the makers unveiled the item number Aap Jaisa Koi which featured Bollywood diva Malaika Arora along with Ayushmann and gathered massive responses from the audience.
Helmed by Anirudh Iyer, the film also stars Jaideep Ahlawat in the lead role and marks the Bala actor's first action-packed film of his career. Apart from that, he will also be seen in an upcoming comedy film Dream Girl 2 opposite Ananya Panday, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav and Vijay Raaz and is all set to hit the big screens in June 2023.
