Giving out details about the film, the filmmaker said in a statement, “Genius is different from all that I've made before. It's a story of a guy with high IQ. Dil ki Ladaai, Dimaag Se is how I'd sum up the story for now. I'm looking at casting a fresh face opposite him in this movie.”

The movie is a romantic drama which also has a unique twist. It will also mark the debut of the actress, Ishita Chauhan , who will be seen playing the female lead. Genius also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui , who is reportedly playing a negative role in it.

Apart from the 3 leads, the supporting cast includes Mithun Chakraborty and Ayesha Jhulka and the film is scheduled to release on 24th August 2018.
