An Action Hero, the newest film by Ayushmann Khurrana, did not perform well at the box office. The film grossed barely Rs 17 crore but earned positive reviews. Finally, once the film became available on Netflix last week, people began to praise it. Ayushmann Khurrana responded on Twitter to a fan who recently praised his film An Action Hero above Shah Rukh Khan's smash Pathaan. Ayushmann, who labels himself a Shah Rukh fan, greeted the fan but expressed anger with her comments against Pathaan. Fans were charmed over by Ayushmann's wonderful response to it. Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand, has become the highest-grossing Hindi film of 2023.

Pathaan marks Shah Rukh's return film, and it broke box office records throughout the world. The film has already made Rs 700 crore globally. On Thursday, a fan remarked about the craze around this film and praised An Action Hero. The 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.”
