Ayushmann Khurrana is on cloud nine after commercially and
critically successful films like "Bareilly Ki Barfi", "Shubh
Mangal Saavdhan", "Badhaai Ho" and "AndhaDhun. Now, Ayushmann
has taken a career turn to do "Article 15", an investigative drama
about discrimination.
"After doing good box office numbers with four
back-to-back films, as an artiste and as an actor, you get the courage to do a
film which has a certain social responsibility that can make the nation
think," Ayushmann revealed in a statement.
"I wanted to do something very relevant to society and
to Indians, and not think about how much money it will make. For me, this has
never been the benchmark for good cinema. Good cinema can also evoke a
discussion and a dialogue and with this film my attempt is to do just that. I
have never been an insecure artist who feels if one film does well, the next
has to do bigger and better. That's a very small lens to operate from. I have
always tried to disrupt stereotypes with my cinema. So, this decision is my
attempt to disrupt how successful cinema is evaluated in India," Ayushmann
further added.
In Anubhav Sinha's "Article 15", he essays a
policeman who faces insurmountable challenges while in search for truth and
justice.
