Haridwar: Ayushmann Khurrana's latest release 'Article 15' is facing backlash from the members of Brahmin outfits in different parts of the country.

Following the protests and rage of the Brahman and Sant Samaj, the owner of the theatre stalled the screening of 'Article 15'. As a precautionary measure, a huge police force has been brought in outside Wave cinema and Pentagon mall.

The movie sparked protests by many Hindu communities claiming that it shows the brahmans and mahants in a poor light.

The movie is based on 'Article 15' of the Indian Constitution which states the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, caste, race, sex or place of birth.
