Ayushmann Khurrana’s Article 15 gives shocking insights, says we shouldn’t be blindly proud of our country.

The Bollywood actor, who is gearing up for the release of Article 15 that tackles the issues of caste-based discrimination, says people of the country are sensitive towards each other. The latest campaign of Article 15, title of which refers to the article with the same name in our constitution that prohibits discrimination on basis of caste, religion and gender, tackles the subject with the sensitivity it deserves.

“Our country is a unique one because we have all kinds of people and we are very sensitive towards ourselves. We are proud of ourselves, of our communities,” Ayushmann said. “We are so depressed in our real lives that we need something to feel proud about.” Actor Ayushmann Khurrana says “our country” is unique because it has people of all kinds, but one should not be “blindly proud” of it.

In this film Ayushmann plays the role of a cop in the film who is investigation rape and murder of three girls, and in the video, he can be seen in the uniform in a police station set up, and shows how casually we use the word ‘Bhangi’ to refer to something that’s disagreeable, and how it negatively affects the identity of an entire community.

At a special event of the film on Saturday night, director Anubhav Sinha was asked about his views regarding caste-based reservation. The Mulk director said reservation was not an easy subject that one could answer in two minutes, adding that it was a “complex matter which has a lot of plus and many minus”.

Article 15 is scheduled to be released on June 28. Article 15 also stars Isha Talwar, M Nassar, Manoj Pahwa, Sayani Gupta, Kumud Mishra and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub. It has been Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Produced by Anubhav Sinha and Zee Studios and is slated to release on 28th June 2019.
