Talking about the film, Ayushmann said his role in "Bala" was the most challenging character he has done. "Took two-and-a-half hours to get ready with prosthetics and shot in the north in the peak of summers. And secondly, you need a lot of empathy to portray a complex character," Ayushmann said. The film released on November 7 and it has already crossed Rs. 90 crores at the box-office.
