Article 15 – Ayushmann Khurrana urges fans and followers to join the #DontsayBhangi movement in this video 15 : Bollywood News

Returning to the big screen in an unconventional role, Ayushmann Khurrana will be seen as a cop in Article 15. While the film is no quintessential cop drama, it is expected to portray the caste and class discrimination that still exists in the society. Considering that Ayushmann and director Anubhav Sinha have in the past too expressed their displeasure towards this kind of narrow mindedness in the society, the actor has started off a new social media movement related to the film - #DontSayBhangi.
