The movie is directed by Leena Yadav and produced by Ambika Hinduja under the banners Hinduja Ventures and Serendipity Films.

The film is believed to be an adaptation of the book ‘Bringing down the house’ by Ben Mezrick that came out in 2002 and is also inspired from the movie “21”, which is based on the same novel. The film’s main plot revolves around tricks on gambling.

Movie’s cast
Set for the release on Feb. 26, the film stars India’s superstar Amitabh Bachchan along with Oscar Winner Sir Ben Kingsley in the lead.

The other casts of the movie includes the dashing R. Mahadevan, Saira Mohan, Raima Sen along with debuting Dhruv Ganesh, Siddharth Kher and Vaibhav Talwar.

Shraddha Kapoor, daughter of Bollywood’s baddie Shakti Kapoor, will also be making her debut in the movie. Richard Gere, Ajay Devgan, Jackie Shroff and Mahesh Manjrekar are among those who make special appearances in the movie. Salim – Sulaiman are the music directors for the film.

Movie’s storyline
Amitabh plays a math genius, Venkat, from India, who tutors five of his brightest protégés, played by Madhavan, Siddharth Kher, and newcomers Dhruv Ganesh, Vaibhav Talwar and Shraddha Kapoor for high-stake gambling, but with a cause.

Venkat meets Perci, played by Ben Kingsley, who is regarded as the world’s greatest living mathematician, at a high rolling casino in London, and shares a mathematical equation with Perci that could change the dialogue on mathematics forever.

Madhavan dons six different looks for the movie. “I play this professor who wants everything in life too quickly without wasting too much time. It is a completely different role for me where you will see me in six different looks”, he says.

‘Teen Patti’ is an emotionally riveting and razor-sharp thriller set in India and England that revolves around greed, deception and giant feats of imagination. The super-slick and fast-paced trailer with an edge-of-the-seat plot has managed to capture the minds of the audiences worldwide.

Created against the backdrop of modern India - made internationally-adored following the success of Slumdog Millionaire, Teen Patti is one of the most anticipated thrillers to emerge from Asia, with its themes and narrative being so profoundly Indian.
