Ever
since
the
trailer
was
launched
last
month,
the
Ayushmann
Khurrana
starrer
Article
15
has
piqued
the
audience's
curiosity.
Inspired
by
true
events,
the
Anubhav
Sinha
directorial
has
been
embroiled
in
a
controversy.
The
trailer
shows
Ayushmann
Khurrana's
cop
character
entangled
in
the
caste
system
while
investigating
the
killing
of
two
girls.
The
makers
have
been
accused
of
portraying
Brahmins
in
a
negative
light.
It
is
being
said
that
the
story
is
inspired
by
the
2014
Badaun
(Uttar
Pradesh)
rape
case
in
which
two
teenage
girls
were
found
hanging
from
a
tree
that
made
it
to
the
national
headlines.
While
Parshuram
Sena,
a
Brahmin
outfit
has
reportedly
voiced
its
displeasure
and
alleged
that
the
film
defames
the
community,
Anubhav
Sinha
and
Ayushmann
Khurrana
are
said
to
have
been
getting
threats
on
social
media.
Moreover,
a
multiplex
chain
is
saying
that
Brahmin
groups
and
Karni
Sena
will
assemble
outside
their
properties
to
protest
against
the
screening
of
Article
15.
Apparently,
cinema
owners
are
reaching
out
to
the
local
police
stations
for
help
with
additional
security
in
wake
of
these
threats.
Anubhav
Sinha
has
been
addressing
sensitive
subjects
in
the
society
through
his
movies
be
it
Mulk
and
the
upcoming
film,
also.
As
it
nears
its
date
with
cinemas,
he
has
been
getting
threatening
emails
and
calls
from
different
strata
of
the
society,
particularly
the
upper
bracket
of
the
age-old
social
structure.
The
movie,
Article
15
is
a
movie
that
demands
change
in
the
society
for
each
individual
and
has
asked
everyone
to
take
action
with
its
hard-hitting
line,
'Ab
farq
laayenge'!
'Article
15'
is
set
to
get
a
world
premiere
at
the
tenth
edition
of
the
London
Indian
Film
Festival.
The
investigative
drama
will
be
shown
on
the
opening
night.
The
film
also
stars
Isha
Talwar,
M
Nassar,
Manoj
Pahwa,
Sayani
Gupta,
Kumud
Mishra
and
Mohammed
Zeeshan
Ayyub.
Directed
by
Anubhav
Sinha
and
Produced
by
Benaras
Media
Works
and
Zee
Studios,
the
film
is
sure
to
put
the
audience
through
a
social
perspective.
