The makers of Article 15 have released two teasers which have already set the tone for the trailer. Ayushmann Khurrana in the trailer is seen asking a question that will surely shake your foundations. He asked, “Aapki aukaad aapko yeh trailer dekhne ki anumati Nahi deti... Is bhed-bhaav se bura laga na? Bharat ke pichre jaati ke logo ko aisa ahsaas har din hota hai."


Ayushmann's dialogue is the stark reflection of the injustice happening in our country. The teasers of 'Article 15' is a hard-hitting reminder that the fundamental rights which the constitution provides us have been compromised.


As the trailer of Ayushmann Khurrana's Article 15 is creating buzz on the Internet, here's what Article 15 of our constitution is all about, as stated by CAD India.
