Ayushmann said in a press statement, “It’s overwhelming and heart-warming to see the love and acclaim that AndhaDhun has been getting in China. As an artist, it is incredible to see my film cross over and get such a fantastic reaction. I have always believed that films speak a universal language and it cuts across geographies and Sriram Raghavan’s vision, AndhaDhun, just proved it in a massive way in China. I’m thrilled to receive so much love from the Chinese audiences.”

Sharing his joy over the development, Ayushmann posted an unreleased picture from the film on Instagram and wrote, “This was the last day of shoot in Poland. Check out the date in the poster. The year is 2020. We thought we were making a very interesting gem. Never thought it’ll become such a mammoth of a success, esp in China. Thank you Sriram Raghavan sir. #Andhadhun crosses 150 crores in China.”
