Six hits and a National Award later, Ayushmann Khurrana has become an industry disruptor of sorts. The actor, who consistently takes on movies that challenge the status quo while keeping an eye on the box office, says he has a bigger goal in mind. "From sparking a conversation on inequality in Article 15, to highlighting gender fluidity in society through Dream Girl and now discussing premature balding in men through Bala, I have hoped to deliver films that start a discussion in society. For me, that's the true meaning of cinema. Besides entertaining everyone, films need to make people ponder and encourage them to take an idea home with them," opines Khurrana.
