Ayushmann once again went on to explain what he actually meant when he made that statement. The actor shared, "What I meant to say was that the Hindi-speaking market mein—like I was shooting in Allahabad waha Lokah release nahi hui hi (it didn't release there)."

The actor further added, "Main dhekhna chahta tha par waha release hi nahi hui thi par waha Thamma paunch jayegi. Maine Mumbai mein aake dhekhi hai (I wanted to watch it, but I couldn't, as it was not released there; however, 'Thamma' will hit cinemas there. When I came to Mumbai, I watched the film), I wish waha bhi release hui hoti.”

Lauding the Malayalam movie, the actor stated that he loved it. He said, "More power to Dulquer Salmaan (producer), Kalyani Priyadarshan (actor), and the entire team. I really enjoyed the film."

He even expressed that the success of 'Lokah' will benefit his upcoming release.

Ayushmann Khurrana's previous statement that went viral

In an interview, Ayushmann Khurrana stated that he couldn't watch 'Lokah' in Allahabad, where he was shooting at that time. He said, "So ours is a more massy film because it penetrates down to the Hindi-speaking markets also. Lokah could be a good induction for certain multiplex audiences towards this thing, but we have a different genesis, different situations, and it’s a different story."
