Ayushmann Khurrana is currently basking in the success of his recently released film Thamma, as he delivered his career’s biggest opening with this film. Elated by the overwhelming response, he hosted a fun Ask me Anything (AMA) session. One fan dubbed him the ‘Captain America’ of MHCU, to which Ayushmann politely responded that comparisons to Western superheroes are not necessary.

During the AMA session, one fan asked Ayushmann Khurrana: “How do you feel being the Captain America of MHCU?” The Thamma star replied, “Mat kar lala. Nahi chahiye hume bahar ki validation (Don’t do this, we don’t need the outside validation). No comparison, this is our desi universe. So Thamma is Thamma.”

Meri pehli badi film hai Diwali par aayi hai. Pehle main Diwali par sirf filmein dekhta tha, ab dikha raha hu. Ek Chandigarh ke launde ka sapna pura hua hai. (I’m sleeping very well. I used to sleep well before too, but now even more. Thamma is very special. This is my first big film releasing on Diwali. Earlier, I only used to watch films on Diwali, now I’m starring in one. A boy from Chandigarh has fulfilled his dream).”
