Ayushmann Khurrana is delighted that he will showcase his versatility this year. The actor says, "I'm thrilled about the range of characters that I will showcase to audiences in 2022! It is one of the most exciting years in cinema for me as I get to play an undercover cop in Anek, a doctor in Doctor G, and a Hindi film hero who, though perceived as a muscle-flexing star, is quite the opposite in real life in Action Hero."
He adds, "It can't get any more diverse than this for me and I hope audiences will appreciate and love the different avatars that I'm playing in these three unique films. I believe these three projects are disruptive and highly original scripts and I'm confident about them standing out. As an actor, I can't wait to receive audience's reactions to them."
Ayushmann will be seen next in Anubhav Sinha's Anek that's releasing on May 27. Khurrana will be seen in the avatar of an undercover cop in the upcoming political action thriller 'Anek', directed by Anubhav Sinha.
Although, he has earlier played a cop in 'Article 15', which too was incidentally directed by Anubhav, this will be the first time when he will be essaying such a character.

While talking about his character in the film, Ayushmann said "This is the first time the audience will see me in this avatar. I have played a cop before but this is the first time they will see me going undercover. Joshua in Anek is street smart and intelligent."
He further mentioned, "He knows his way around people and can fight bad guys not only in a physical capacity but also with his great intellect. I was very pumped to try my hands at portraying Joshua as it gave me an opportunity to explore something I hadn't done before. I owe it to my audience to offer them new experiences with each film"
Sharing his approach for this character, he said, " As an undercover cop, Joshua has the perfect traits of a spy and I had to work on my physical and mental skills to portray that. Right from his observation skills to his ability to combat the enemy, the character's journey keeps one intrigued and gripped throughout. Also, the action sequences had to look real and raw to fit into the world of Anek and to portray what Anubhav had envisioned, I was inscribed with the right amount of guidance and training."
