Ayushmann Khurrana On Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan: “My Intention Was Clear That I Wanted This Film To Reach As Many Families And…”

Ayushmann Khurrana is a star with the Midas touch! After delivering seven back to back blockbusters, the versatile star seems to be comfortably heading towards his eighth hit in a row with Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan packing a solid punch at the box office with a 32.66 crore weekend! His brilliant record at the ticket counters is a rare feat for any actor and just goes on to show how he has built a brand for himself with content-driven message cinema that people now refer to as the ‘Ayushmann Khurrana genre’!

Ayushmann is elated with the incredible response that a film on the same-sex relationships has received. Such films have for long been stereotyped as a genre no star should venture as it doesn’t fair well at the box office. He says, “When I decided to back SMZS, my intention was clear that I wanted this film and it’s message to reach as many families and homes as possible.” In a country that has just recently decriminalised same-sex relationships, the film’s solid trending also highlights the maturity of the country towards this otherwise taboo topic.
