It seems Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has taken the baton to address all the manly problems through his movies. After delivering hits like 'Badhaai Ho' and 'Dream Girl', Ayushmann has shared the trailer for his next film, 'Bala.' In the trailer, Ayushmann is playing the role of a guy from Lucknow, Gaurav Rawat or Bala, suffering from premature balding. The film also takes on the topic of people's obsession with fair skin. Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam are also in the film. Bhumi playing a dusky small-town girl at odds with a society that is obsessed with fair skin while Yami plays a Tik-Tok star that Ayushmann loses his heart to. To impress his love interest, Bala decides to put on a wig. However, he keeps his balding head a secret from her. To do that, he tries every trick in the book - sprays, powders, wigs and also cow dung.

Ayushmann and Bhumi have shared the screen earlier in blockbusters like 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' and 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan.' The upcoming film marks their third collaboration together. Meanwhile, he made his film debut opposite Yami Gautam in 'Vicky Donor' in 2012. The comedy-drama is directed by Amar Kaushik and produced by Dinesh Vijan, who has produced films such as 'Luka Chuppi', 'Stree' and 'Hindi Medium.' 'Bala' will open in theatres on November 22 this year.

Speaking about his role in the film, Ayushmann had said earlier that he gets "excited" every time he gets a challenging role. "The more challenging or complex the character is, I get more excited. And going with the same trajectory, I'm excited with Bala," said Ayushmann. Ayushmann’s latest film, 'Dream Girl' was a box office success. The film managed to rake in £14 million.
