The movie is jointly produced by actor Emraan Haashmi, Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Kasbekar and Tanuj Garg’s Ellipsis Entertainment. The film will be directed by Soumik Sen, who has previously written the screenplay for films such as Anthony Kaun Hai? and Meerabai Not Out. In 2014 he directed and wrote the screenplay and composed the songs of Gulaab Gang. _Cheat India_ is slated to release on 25 January and will be clashing with Hrithik Roshan-starrer _Super 30_ at the box office.
