Ayushmann Khurrana’s Article 15 has garnered a lot of appreciation since its teaser was first released on Monday. Ayushmann was appreciated for his cop look, in particular, and his choice of films that are different from the mainstream.

The actor who had always desired to play a police officer on screen, has fulfilled his dream by playing this character. Having immense respect for the uniform, the actor has always been inspired by his idols, Amitabh Bachchan from Zanjeer and Manoj Bajpai from Shool, but the only thing the actor waited for was a good script.

His upcoming film is based on the Article 15 enshrined in the Indian Constitution. In the film, Ayushamann will play a character who is empowered to bring about a change in society by stopping discrimination on ground of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.

The poster of the film is also winning hearts across quarters and his fans cannot stop praising the actor for the brave choice of film which highlights social issues.

Article 15 will 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 Anubhav Sinha & Zee Studios, the film is scheduled to release on 28 June, 2019.
