Ayushmann Khurrana on working with Jaideep Ahlawat

The talented actor, known for his willingness to work with other prominent actors in two-hero subjects, spoke about An Action Hero. Jaideep reportedly plays the film’s main antagonist. Ayushmann said of the ‘Paatal Lok’ actor: “I always feel, the cast needs to be good. Batman needs a joker for the right balance. I think it’s always a team effort and a collaboration. I am a huge fan of Jaideep Ahlawat, ever since I watched Paatal Lok. I am glad, I for a chance to work with him. He has a parallel lead in the film.”
