Apparently based on a real-life fraudster who duped seven women by marrying them in seven cities, Fraud Saiyaan follows the same plot. Apart from Warsi, the movie also stars Saurabh Shukla and Sara Loren. The teaser will remind you of movies that Govinda used to do in the '90s. Arshad Warsi's comic timing is not as bad as always, but we are not sure how the themes of the film will go down with the present generation of viewers. Bhaiaji Superhit Movie Review: Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta and Arshad Warsi's Film Makes a Bad Parody of Its Actors' Careers!

The scrapping of Sec 497 that makes adultery no longer a criminal offence recently plays an important part of the story. Prakash Jha, the producer, had talked about it in a statement to media. He had said, "Thanks to a recent Supreme Court ruling, (the protagonist) cannot be arrested nor can criminal charges be pressed against him. This ruling has unknowingly come to the rescue of our protagonist though eventually, he will have to face the consequences of his actions.” Fraud Saiyaan will release on January 18, 2019.
