Emraan posted the same picture on Instagram and of his upcoming film Cheat India, he wrote: "It is one of the most engaging and riveting scripts I've read in a long, long time." He also added: "The edge-of-the-seat drama will take a startling look at the crimes in the Indian education system which has created a parallel ecosystem infested with a mafia of sorts. I am sure that every student and youth will hugely relate to the subject. In an era marked by the success of content alone, I'm excited to be essaying a character which I believe will be a landmark one in my filmography."
Soumik Sen has earlier directed films like Gulaab Gang, starring Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla. Of his new film, Soumik Sen earlier told news agency IANS: "This film is for every Indian student who is under pressure to excel in a competitive environment. Today's youth will hugely relate to Cheat India."
Emraan Hashmi is star of films such as Murder, Aksar, Raaz - The Mystery Continues, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai and Raaz 3D. He was last seen in Baadshaho, co-starring Ajay Devgn and Ileana D'Cruz.
Cheat India will hit the screens in February, next year.
