Serious Men revolves around the story of an underachiever named Ayyan Mani (played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who uses his son Aadi's newfound fame as a boy-genius to earn money and improve his family's status. Earlier, announcing the film, Nawazuddin Siddiqui wrote: "Finding fame was easy. But staying famous? That's where things get tricky. Watch a slum dweller's rags to riches story while he lays what's most important on the line."
Co-produced by Bombay Fables and Cine Raas, Serious Men will also feature Aakshath Das, Indira Tiwari, Shweta Basu Prasad and Nassar.
