Article 15: Ayushmann Khurrana compares his film to director Anubhav Sinha’s previous film Mulk – here’s why

Ayushmann Khurrana’s much-awaited film Article 15 directed by Anubhav Sinha, hit the theatres today and has opened to rave reviews. The film takes a hard look at caste discrimination prevalent in some parts of the country even though Article 15 of the Constitution of India considers it as a punishable offence.

In an interview with a news portal, Ayushman spoke about the importance of a film like this. He was quoted as saying, “If a message like this can be given through mainstream cinema, it can get more reach. This film needs to go to those people who believe in caste-based discrimination.”

Talking about how the team has consciously tried to make the film look authentic, the actor revealed, “This is a real film and the tonality of the film is very real. It is coming from the person who made Mulk (2018), which is a very credible film. What Mulk did to the Hindu-Muslim situation, Article 15 will do that to the caste system of our country. And I am playing the more real cop, I guess. So, I did not take any reference from any Bollywood film. I met real cops and I am friends with some real IAS officers. I observed the way they salute, walk and deal with real situations.”
