Ayushmann Khurrana is currently basking in the success of his latest release `Dream Girl 2`. The Raaj Shandilyaa-directorial is one of the three films released in the month of August that boosted the Box Office business of India. `Dream Girl 2` also gave Ayushmann his biggest career opening of Rs 10.6 crore.

We have seen that in the past two years, there was a big lull in terms of box office success, not just with me but all the other actors. In fact, the month of August has been the most fruitful and most commercially sweet month in the history of Hindi cinema, and `Dream Girl 2` has been a part of this, I am fortunate and we are blessed," says an ecstatic Ayushmann while talking to mid-day.com.
Ayushmann Khurrana says that Dream Girl 2 was never meant for the woke audience and the film has reached its desired audience. During the pandemic, there were talks on OTT besting Theatres and content taking over superstardom. When asked what he thinks of these discussions now, the actor said, "Conspiracy theories will change every six months or a year. Nothing is put in golden words like this is going to happen. Nothing is forever, it is ever-changing, ever-evolving. It is like a curve. like theatres are back and sequels are working and more than that the films with mass palette they are working more in theatricals. So theatres are back and how! I am glad this has happened. and I hope this era continues off-course there will be a perfect balance between OTT and theatrical content. We have to just choose the right.medium."
