Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha paid his respect to legendary ghazal queen Begum Akhtar here and said it was a gratifying experience. He took the team of his film "Article 15" to the cemetery where she lies buried.
"Begum Akhtar was my childhood crush. She was the reason I started my never-ending journey into the world of Urdu," Sinha said in a statement. "After so many years, I got the opportunity to pay my respect to both of them along with my entire cast of 'Article 15'. It was such a gratifying experience," he added.

Sinha is currently shooting his next "Article 15" in Uttar Pradesh. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana will be seen essaying the role of a police officer in the film. The actor said the film has given him a "true test of my love for my craft".
"We're in the middle of shooting 'Article 15'... Yesterday, we had a challenging day - a shot required us to enter into a swamp and do a gripping scene," he posted on Twitter on Friday.
"We realised that the swamp was filled with leeches only when we were in the middle of the shot. I would like to salute my brave team of investigative officers (it's an honour to act with these talented actors) for finishing the scene despite a vicious leech attack," Ayushmann added.
Article 15 of the Indian Constitution is about a prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. The film, produced by Benaras Media Works, went on the floors on March 1.
