Actor Ayushmann Khurrana says the intent to bring about “social change by starting a conversation” is what compelled him to back a movie like “Article 15“, which is centred around caste discrimination in the society.
He says it was important for him to show India a very significant social film.
“As an artiste, you sometimes get a film that demands you to back it wholeheartedly because it is trying to make a strong statement, because it is trying to affect social change by starting a conversation.

“A film like ‘Article 15‘ compelled me to put my voice behind it because it is a cinema that needs to be made and seen. It is cinema for the entire country, for the youth to notice,” Ayushmann said in a statement.
This is also why he is not bothered about the box office prospect of the film.
