Actor Ayushmann Khurrana바카라™s last three films바카라”Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, Anek, and Doctor G, Ā didn바카라™t do well at the box office. However, Ayushmann Khurrana is unshakable and says that he will keep doing unconventional roles and adding variety to his filmography.

Talking about his last three films바카라™ debacle especially 바카라˜Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui바카라™ which highlights a social message on the LGBTQ community, Ayushmann Khurrana says India is homophobic.

Ā 바카라œI started with movies on taboo subjects. I suppose the type of subjects바카라”it has to be a community viewing, and it has to have a wider film바카라”the kids have also been watching. In fact, my last three films, including an LGBTQ film (Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui), really don't do well commercially because, unfortunately, our country is homophobic. Then there was Anek, a docudrama that was a very niche in terms of the tone of the film.

바카라œDoctor G was an A-rated film, and given the kind of certification it got, the film did decently well in theatres. For a while, that was my learning for making a film,바카라 Ayushmann Khurrana tells OTT Play.

Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, Ā Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui Ā starred Vaani Kapoor as a trans woman. Ayushmann Khurrana바카라™s other films including Anek and Doctor G earned as low as Rs. 9.7 crore and Rs. 31.49 crore gross at the domestic ticket window.

However, Ayushmann will continue taking risk.

바카라œIf I stop taking risks, I will be conventional. I have always been unconventional, and I make those choices. I will be taking them in the future as well, regardless of success or failure. I just keep pushing the boundaries, and that's the beauty of the budgeting of the films, too. My films are mostly low- to mid-budget, so no one loses money and I can afford to take risks,바카라 says Ayushmann Khurrana.

He will be next seen in Anirudh Iyer바카라˜s film 바카라˜An Action Hero바카라™. The film is slated to release on December 2, 2022.
