Ayushmann Khurrana, who thanked the viewers for making his film a success in multiple posts, told news agency IANS recently: "They say you learn a lot through your successes and this current phase has told me that I should always push the content envelope and pick and back edgy stories because somehow my brand of cinema has become synonymous with something that's a little left of centre."
Ayushmann co-stars with Yami Gautam and Bhumi Pednekar in Bala, which opened to positive reviews. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote: "Bala is undoubtedly Ayushmann Khurrana's film. But Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam play second fiddle with such aplomb that they are never put in the shade.
