Ayushmann Khurrana is one of the few actors who has established themselves as a successful and bankable box office star despite being an outsider. Right from his debut film Vicky Donor, the actor has been ruling the box office with superhits like Badhaai Ho, Andhahun, Dum Laga Ke Haisha, and more!
Ayushmann Khurrana Rejected Films
However, the superstar is currently in the news for walking out of two films, one that starred Kareena Kapoor Khan and other Sunny Deol‘s Gadar 2. Although his casting in both films was a speculation, the actor is not a part of either of these projects.

Did Ayushmann Really Win?
Despite not letting Aamir Khan’s Thugs Of Hindostan not breathe at the box office and earning better than Rajkummar Rao’s Stree, Ayushmann’s Badhaai Ho had to settle for number in terms of profit.
