Ayushmann Khurrana has been shooting near Lucknow for Anubhav Sinha's Article 15. The actor shared a picture from the set on Instagram and wrote, "Today was a true test of my love for my craft... a shot required us to enter into a swamp and do a gripping scene. We realised that it was filled with leeches only when we were in the middle of the shot. Anubhav hum aapke liye khoon bahane ko tayaar hain (sic)."

The film is based on Article 15 of the Constitution, which prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.
