Ayushmann to team up again with Anubhav Sinha for action-thriller

Ayushmann Khurrana who first collaborated with Anubhav Sinha on Article 15, is now set to reunite with the director on an upcoming untitled action-thriller.

Mumbai: After 2018's Article 15 collaboration, actor Ayushmann Khurrana is set to reunite with director Anubhav Sinha on an upcoming untitled action-thriller.

Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh made the official announcement of the project on Twitter on Friday.

"IT'S OFFICIAL... After #Mulk, #Article15 and #Thappad... Anubhav Sinha to direct #AyushmannKhurrana... An action-thriller [not titled yet]... 16 Oct 2020 release. Anubhav and Ayushmann reunite after the much-acclaimed and successful #Article15," tweet read.

The actor-director's first collaboration was Article 15 that garnered much critical appreciation.

The film is loosely inspired by the heinous rape incident where two teenage girls were gang-raped and gruesomely murdered by hanging them while they were still alive.

The movie highlights the caste discrimination in the country through a mix of various incidents. The film's title derives from Article 15 of the Indian Constitution which prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, and place of birth.
