T-Series and Reliance Entertainment have joined hands with Match Cut Productions to make a dark humour-laced satire titled `Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga`. The film, slated to be released on June 24, is inspired by true events.

A winner of multiple National Awards, Mukherji has directed critically acclaimed Bengali films such as `Autograph` (2010), `Jaatishwar` (2014), `Chotushkone` (2015), `Rajkahini` (2015) and `Ek Je Chhilo Raja` (2019). `Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga` will be his second Hindi film after the 2017 period drama, `Begum Jaan`.
