Shreya who has B.Tech degree found it easier to connect with the script of the film, as it also sheds light on the malpractices in engineering and other institutes in India. She added, “I could identify with the story because while I was studying, we had a subject called Radio and Television in which we were still being taught about cathode ray tube TVs at a time of flat screens and LED TVs. There are many more issues like the admission process, lack of teachers and invigilators among others.”

Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Tanuj Garg, Atul Kasbekar and Emraan Hashmi, ‘Cheat India’ will hit the silver screens on January 25, 2019.
