Ayushmann Khurrana has established himself as the poster boy of content-driven cinema in India today. His blockbuster social entertainers have brought taboo topics out in the open for public discussion and debate. On the second release anniversary of Bala, a film about inclusivity and acceptance of one’s beauty, Ayushmann says the success of the film made him confident that cinema that was once dubbed as off-beat is the new mainstream in India.

“Bala’s success reiterated the fact that good content cinema could not be dubbed as off-beat anymore. Such films had become mainstream cinema and, in fact, they were defining what cinema should be,” Ayushmann says.

The actor says he felt confident to pick more unconventional subjects after Bala’s success. “The fact that Bala became a roaring blockbuster solidified my belief system that I should walk the path less travelled and give audiences cinema that should always be novel yet highly engaging and entertaining. The love that I have got for Bala has only humbled me and made me strive to be a better entertainer who seeks to give an important message to audiences,” he shares.
