Inspired by true events and facts, the makers of hit films like ‘Tumhari Sulu’, ‘Neerja’ and ‘Raid’, have come up with a new film ‘Cheat India’ which will bring to light the malpractices in India’s education system. The makers unveiled the film’s video teaser recently.

The poster of the film was also released a few days prior to the release of the video teaser. The poster had Emraan Hashmi’s face stitched together by an assortment of exam admission cards and rupee notes.

Hashmi had stated in an interview that the film was a first-of-its-kind for him, besides being topical and relevant for students and parents. Its controversial tagline, ‘Nakal Mein Hi Akal Hai’, clearly points towards the rampant malpractices in the country’s financially lucrative education sector.

The film marks the debut of Shreya Dhanwanthary and features more than forty theatre actors who have been cast after extensive auditioning.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, Tanuj Garg and Atul Kasbekar’s Ellipsis Entertainment, and Emraan Hashmi Films, Cheat India is due for a world release on January 25, 2019.
