FilmiBeat
T-Series
and
Ellipsis
Entertainment
are
repeating
their
partnership
following
the
box
office
success
of
the
acclaimed
Vidya
Balan-starrer
Tumhari
Sulu.
The
two
front-running
content
companies
have
partnered
with
Emraan
Hashmi
Films
on
their
next
production,
Cheat
India.
The
edge-of-the-seat
drama,
largely
inspired
by
real
incidents,
will
be
directed
by
Soumik
Sen
who
had
earlier
helmed
Madhuri
Dixit-
Juhi
Chawla
starrer
Gulaab
Gang.
Emraan
Hashmi
will
headline
the
film,
which
takes
a
startling
look
at
the
crimes
in
the
Indian
education
system
that
has
created
a
parallel
eco-system
infested
with
greed
harvesters.
The
actor
is
quite
kicked
up
about
this
film
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"The
script
and
title
of
Cheat
India
are
supremely
powerful.
This
is
among
the
most
engaging
and
riveting
stories
I've
read
in
a
while
and
I
am
thrilled
to
be
essaying
what
I
believe
will
be
a
landmark
role
in
my
film-ography.
I
am
also
looking
forward
to
working
with
some
formidable
partners
-
Soumik,
an
amazing
storyteller,
Ellipsis,
the
new
kids
with
a
pulse
on
clutter-breaking
content
and
marketing,
and
T-Series,
with
whom
I
share
an
old
association
on
music
and
films."
Director
Soumik
Sen
said,
"This
film
is
for
every
Indian
student
who
is
under
pressure
to
excel
in
a
competitive
environment.
Today's
youth
will
hugely
relate
to
Cheat
India.
Says
Bhushan
Kumar
of
T-Series,
"We
are
increasingly
treading
the
path
of
strong
creative
partnerships,
and
in
line
with
that,
we
are
excited
about
co-creating
Cheat
India,
which,
we
believe,
will
reflect
the
new-age
appetite
for
compelling
content
rooted
in
realism."
Tanuj
Garg
and
Atul
Kasbekar
of
Ellipsis
Entertainment
further
added,
"The
projects
we
are
developing
are
incredibly
diverse,
varied
in
scope,
and
speak
to
the
elevated
tastes
of
audiences
today.
The
story
of
Cheat
India
will
entertain
and
uplift,
and
we're
delighted
to
be
bringing
it
to
life."

India

2019
