After a four-year sabbatical, Shah Rukh Khan is back on the big screen with Pathaan. The movie has spurred celebrations across the nation and brought people together. The action-thriller is breaking records at the box office and is raging. The movie has already made Rs 725 crore in 10 days throughout the world, despite a drop. SRK has returned to the box office with the release of Pathaan, as it has become his highest-earning movie in just under a week. Despite the favourable reviews for the movie, one Twitter user recently praised An Action Hero starring Ayushmann Khurrana while criticising Pathaan. The actor replied to his tweet in a subtle way.

On Thursday, a Twitter user took to the social media site and praised An Action Hero, saying she enjoyed everything about it, including the storyline and background music. She suggested watching An Action Hero instead of Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan.

Ayushmann Khurrana surprisingly responded to her tweet. In response to the fan's critique of Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, the actor acknowledged her praise for An Action Hero but conveyed his disappointment. He replied, "Thanks for loving An Action Hero. Could’ve avoided the first line though I’m an SRKian!" The Twitter user responded to the actor’s tweet and wrote, “Same! I (love) SRK. But sometimes I don’t like the story as much as I love the star.”

In an earlier interview, Ayushmann had also said that he became an actor because of SRK. While speaking at Agenda Aaj Tak, he had said, “I am a big fan. I became an actor because of him. I can dub for him. I dedicated something to him in Bala. There is some dedication to him in every film. I crossed Mannat (SRK’s mansion) in Bandra and I gathered around with people. They started taking my selfies. I would also stand at Mannat earlier with boys and girls. Now, I get attention because of him, as I am a huge fan.”
