After composing music for Aanand L Rai’s ‘Good Luck Jerry’, Parag Chhabra has come on board for his next production ‘An Action Hero’, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Jaideep Ahlawat in the lead roles.
Talking about the reunion, Aanand said: “It really surprises me the kind of conviction and clarity Parag brings in his composition at such an early stage of his career. I think he is one of the few composers with whom Hindi music will see the beginning of a new era.”
