The screening of director Anubhav Sinha's highly-acclaimed film, Article 15 has been suspended in Kanpur following protests by a religious group. A group entered the Inox Multiplex and Sapna Palace theatres on Friday and stopped the screening of the film.

They shouted slogans against the filmmaker and also tore posters. Anticipating further trouble, the exhibitors held a meeting on Saturday and decided to put the screening of the film on hold till adequate security is provided.
