'An Action Hero' starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat was a really promising film which opened to amazing critic reviews couple weeks ago. However, despite a talented cast, fresh concept and slick direction, the film failed to lure the audience to theatres and turned out to be a box office disaster. Debutante director Anirudh Iyer states that he can't understand the reason behind poor box office run of his film.

He told The Indian Express, "It is very special, overwhelming. I didn’t expect so much but on the other side, I didn’t expect such bad box office numbers also. It is a bit difficult to process this. I don’t know what to take from it. You have an experience, you make a film, then people point out to you certain things which didn’t work, and you see why that happened. You learn from that and go to the next one, that these are the things that I will or won’t do."

He further added, "Here, my problem is that I am not able to find a closure. Everyone who has spoken to me have told me the film is perfect, that there is nothing that they would change in it. The numbers that the film has done, I am not able to understand, find that closure. That’s one mixed feeling I am in right now. How do I make myself better, what do I do to…. I don’t know what went wrong, but the reviews have been so wonderful. I am in a limbo; I am too happy but also upset."
