Ayushmann Khurrana: If you’re reading this, know you’re special! First Dream Girl and now Bala – 2019 might be like any other year for you where you just get out and choose some amazing scripts, but I’m not getting over your Balmukund anytime soon.

When the formula of commercial potboilers was working for major Bollywood actors, you decided to come with a film Vicky Donor out of nowhere. You know, I still use the line “Main bhi toh kiddddd hi hoon,” in random conversations.

During Article 15, I overheard an interesting conversation in Mumbai Local as a person asked another, “Hey, do you have Article 15 on your phone? I’ve to watch it” to which the other person replied, “Dude, I’ve watched that in a theatre & would suggest you should watch it in one.” These are the regular moviegoers who watch most of the movies on their phones but you step in making one change at a time.
