The actor, who is known for his comedic punches, superb acting, and command of the desi accent, will now be seen amusing the audience in the role of an undercover cop.

Ayushmann stated, regarding his character in the upcoming film Anek, that this is the first time the audience will see him in this avatar. The actor has previously played a cop, but this will be the first time they see him go undercover. Anek's Joshua is a street-smart and intellectual character.

Ayushmann was quite excited to try his hand at playing Joshua since it provided him with the opportunity to attempt something new. With each film, the actor owes it to his audience to provide them with fresh experiences.

As an undercover cop, Joshua has the ideal attributes of a spy, and Ayushmann had to focus on my physical and mental talents to depict that. The character's adventure keeps one engaged and captivated throughout, from his observation abilities to his ability to confront the enemies, revealed the actor. The action sequences had to seem authentic and raw in order to fit within Anek's universe and depict what Anubhav had envisioned.
