Fox International Productions has optioned multiple language remake rights from Buenos Aires-based FilmSharks to the hit Argentinian comedy That’s Not Cheating (Permitidos).

Ariel Winograd’s original film starred Lali Esposito and Martin Piroyansky and was produced by Nathalie Cabiron’s Tres Planos Cine.
